I feel like my inner game has taken a step backwards recently. I'm not sure why.
For example, I feel myself doing the following lately:
-Nervous laughing
-Looking at people with a smile after I say something looking for their approval
-Not looking confident (I know I'm not feeling that confident lately and it's showing I think)
On the later point, an example would be I would just hang around. Like I'd walk into a room and not really know what to do. Sounds weird but I'm sure most of you know what I mean. I just hang there unsure of my actions. Other than 'hanging' I don't feel I move or sit confidently. I move about quite quickly and it gives a vibe I don't know what I'm meant to be doing. It's like I'm not comfortable in my skin.
The thing is I've noticed it because I study body language. And this not only happens out in social environments but in my own house I notice it.
This never used to be a problem. I think it's because I have thrown my social life away over the passed few months to dedicate 6 months on my dream in life. Maybe I need to get out more. But that won't be happening for a couple of months. When I'm not at working I'm chipping away at this big goal at mine.
I've read most of what I could find about inner game on this forum. Any suggested reading/tips?
You answered this yourself. You said you have "thrown your social life away." Having strong inner game is something that requires maintenance. I suggest you try to engage in more social activities so you can regain some of your social confidence. Also, you may want to ask yourself if you are ok with living your dream life means you throw away your social life?
