as a kid i was always very social and playful. i wasnt anywhere near shy and in fact i was extremely confident. somewhere along the line i lost that confidence. i started to stay home a lot more and do nothing. when i turned 14 i managed to lose my virginity to a really good looking girl because i had found a little of that confidence. once i broke up with this girl i lost the bit of confidence i had regained. i occasionally messed with a few girls after that but not a lot of closing even with the ones that i could tell liked me for sure. When i turned 16 i decided to go out more. Now i am 18 and i attend parties a lot more and ive expanded my social circle a bit. However i still lack confidence with women. i know i can talk to them and when i do my friends always tell me i had her but for some reason i cant close. i cant build attraction because i cant build enough confidence to the point where i kiss or fuck her. i need my old confidence back but i dont know how. i think that this is the most important thing for any aspect of life yet i cant find it.
