I know this isn't particularly pickup related directly, but I thought it kind of fit. I think this is why I don't have shyness or anxiety anymore. I can think of so many times when I used to be shy, and used to get anxious about stupid trivial things. I used to be shy, but I haven't been for a long time. I quit being shy when I joined the military. Something about the military really just brought out this wild energetic cockyness I always had with my friends, to a point where it's become a large part of my personality. I sometimes have to give briefings in front of crowds of people. I also had to teach large classes with people who all significantly outrank me in the seats. It's nerve racking. The first few times I'd get on stage, I couldn't stand it. Sometimes I could barely talk. So one time I decided "Screw it!" and I went to an overtly cocky tone on stage. I strutted across stage in an exaggerated look, went nonchalant with my tone, and generally have a "whatever" attitude while still being knowledgeable. It's worked for me; just being myself on stage makes the entire crowd eat out of my hand. This all really came out a week ago. I get transferred to a new job, and the boss wants me to do a "safety briefing" in front of a large crowd. He was expecting me to get up and preach on alcohol safety, or tool safety, or whatever. I told him "yeah I'll do the safety briefing." I didn't tell him what I was going to do, because I didn't know. So when it came time for me to do this briefing, I brought a banana, and a condom. I asked for two volunteers. I stuck the banana in between one guy's legs, and then handed the condom to another dude. I then got on my knees and narrated as this guy put the condom on the banana. I'd slow my speech and refer to the condom as a "pro-fil-ac-tic" (enunciating on each syllable to sound ridiculous) then referred to the penis as a pen-iss (to make it sound ridiculous). The crowd was eating out of my hand. My nerves were perfectly 100% calm, the stage fright was nonexistent. I was totally comfortable in front of the crowd, because I was being myself totally. Making a joke out of something serious, over-exaggerating all of my movements, and being super-analytical about the condom and banana to the point where it was a hilarious joke. |

Lol funny story.Yea when you have the "screw it" mentality, everything becomes a lot easier and you can be yourself and game naturally. Helps in all areas of life, not just pickup. |

Yeah I love getting into that "fuck it " state It's rare but I get a lot accomplished when I do. Told my boss off (and didn't get fired), flirted with 3 girls at work and got a number. It was one day but it was nice. Just gotta learn to keep it now |
