Try downing a an of Monster Energy before going out. You will not want to go home.
YES all hail the Monster Energy GODS!
Seriously, we have all been there. It is gut check time in that moment. It has happened to me countless times and to my former students also. You are depressed and you typically want to go home because you went out with the intention of having fun and maybe meeting some people. You went out and you got yourself there. Now you have work to do. You have to approach, you have to talk, you have to deal with obstacles and all that stuff right but most of the time we don't feel like it. We talk to a couple sets and go back to our little area until we get fed up.
Typically we don't do the work and we get depressed some. The night wears on, it gets late, we get tired. We start to lose that pep in our step. We know we may have not put in the work, the sets did not go well, or maybe we got blown out. We stop smiling. We want to check out and call it a night... "well I tried..." kinda thing. You have to figure out a way to push yourself past it mentally.
You have to convince yourself in that moment. You have to get a hold of yourself and turn it around. It is all in your mind. That this is a new moment, you are a different person now than you were 5 minutes ago, and you aren't the guy who wanted to quit that stopped smiling, lost his pep, and came out to go home empty handed. You are fun, interesting, women should be lucky to talk to you, and damn't you are going to meet some people and make some friends.

All the PUA stuff is about pushing past your limits and your comfort zones. The game gets old and its not as fun anymore and becomes work. It is hard at times, especially when you are alone. When you are alone you have to hold yourself twice as accountable cause it is so easy to just go home and you give yourself that talk on the way back to the car, to your place about how you tried and next time it'll be different but it hardly ever is.
