Lately i've been putting myself under alot of stress, alot of it being that I want a relationship, and that I'm not looking to score anymore...But this stress that's being created is KILLING my self confidence. I cant seem to come outside of my head, to think for myself. I've been so bad at time that even my sense of direction physically leaves me from due to the fact that all I can focus on is that negative, negating feeling of emptiness, disparity, anxiety, depression, etc...etc...
I guess my question is...wtf do I do here?
whenever you feel that hot flush / racing feeling / stressed out feeling you need to mentally say STOP! this isnt good for me, I'm stopping these thoughts because they make me feel shit and achieve nothing and I'm going to go back to how I was feeling a moment before when I was okay and distract myuself with something else (insert idea here: listen and concentrate on music / read book / sing / look out window) etc.
with bit of practise you train your mind to stop doing it
the stress will give you anxiety.
the anxiety will become depression.
start to write down positive things to think about and things you enjoy and like thinking about - nothing to do with girls and sex though.
basically that feeling is going to completely prevent you from continuing and get past your problems and you'll get hung up on them. At these points you need to distract yourself and get yourself thinking on good stuff
at first you'll feel no change, but gradually you'll find yourself getting into habit of spotting 'bad thoughts' and pulling yourself out of it, and your confidence will start returning and you'll start feeling good about yourself and that in itself is attractive
What would you tell a friend who felt bad about not having a gf? would you agree with him that he was a loser and pointless? of course not. because its not true. the truth is, getting girls is hard work - especiually if you're not born into the lucky 10% of guys who automatically think they're the greatest thing going. so think about that and apply it to you.
