My problem is I am very shy and timid overall. I have great difficulty talking to people and have low self esteem. Anyways, I was feeling pathetic about me not being able to talk to women. So I forced myself to talk to women, even though I was deathly afraid. To my surprise the interatction didn't go horrible like I had thought.
When a girl gives me an IOI or smiles at me I feel great, but then I start to feel unworthy or she will soon find fault in me or Im not as good as her boyfriend, or a million other reasons.
How do you gain security in yourself to be able to take action when a girl shows interest?
thanks
So you basically need help in gaining self confidence. First of all, a lot of us have been there in the same boat. I myself didn't feel worthy to talk to certain girls, secretly wondering what they saw in me, and if they were talking to me out of pity. Our own minds can be an amazing and sometimes terrible thing. They can take us to places we never thought possible and they can beat us down just as easily...if you let it.
Developing your own positive mental attitude will take time. Interesting enough the better you start to do with your own attitude and the more relaxed you become the better you will do.
I know some say, "FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT" which is easier said than done but isn't a terrible idea.
Realize you are a good guy, you do have a lot to offer a woman, you are attractive in your own way, you have qualities within you that someone will love, and you are interesting. If necessary give yourself a pep talk before you go out!
You may want to actively get involved in a hobby or sport that you can gain confidence through!
This can be very powerful. Develop this habit... habits take roughly 28 days to develop. Each morning and evening when you look int he mirror before bed or getting ready say 3 positive things to yourself. I'm telling you that it will help. Its not just enough to know that you are a nice guy and worthy of a great woman, YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IT. When you do your game will change dramatically for the better.
Best of Luck,
Jon
