Hi guys!
ok, i was just exercising, and it struck me, i have a new technique for newbies to try, im sure it will help. I explain:
last night, i had the social shyness and went out to conquer it, It was tough, i wanted to say hello to random girls, but this common shyness was taking over me. Then, i don't know why, i started running in a busy street and then, started saying hello to people, then girls. after 3 minutes, i felt strong and could stop running. the fear was gone.
SO, here it goes. This technique is a combination of 2 principles:
1. ever noticed that when we are in a moving bus, car or a train, and we see someone outside, we feel less nervous about sending them a message? ever see 7 year old school kids pass by in a moving bus and make f*ck you sings in the window to bystanders? this is because, being in movement gives us a sensation of security, of invulnerability. its like we think: "it doesn't matter if im an idiot, i will be out of sight soon enough".
2. second is a principle of hypnosis. to access the subconcious, hypnotizes will divert the conscious mind which leaves the "back door" open for the hidden mind. remember in the book "the game" when the PUA asks Style to recite his phone number backwards, which obviously occupies his conscious mind while he access the subconscious. well, this is it here.
here is the technique: (this is only to overcome the initial shyness, to break the shell. once it has been done, no need to do it again unless the fear comes back)
to overcome you fear, find a busy street. then, start running, fast if possible. This will do the two things above. The body will activate, and pump up adrenaline. This will give you a "rush". It will also occupy your mind, running takes brain effort, especially in busy streets, where you must avoid people and cars. This will prevent the fear from having total access to your brain. and lastly, being in fast movement will reduce the "im an idiot" effect, because you will quickly move out of sight of the targets.
run for 3-5 minutes like this, saying a simple, "hello, how are you doing!". after a few minuets, stop and realize you have overcome your fear of approach. after that, resume to walking and saying hello to people, perhaps using simple openers to generate interaction.
well, i hope this helps some people, and please give feed back if you try it as to if it works or not.
best regards,
JD
