Thats crazy.. I really gotta work on my confidence, my life could prolly be real crazy if I just let go.
I think I'm just not sure how to open up in that situation...
Just approach, often. Dont even think about it. Hell TRY and get rejected a few times. Make a game out of it. This is where it helps having a wing as you take turns, and laugh about it if you do happen to get rejected. Making a game out of it takes the edge off.
Something else you can try...my mother councils for patients with anxiety and panic disorder...one thing i learnt from her which helped me when i started out....anxiety is mostly caused by thinking 2 horrible words...'what if'. What if i die tomorrow, what if I crash my car the next time i get into it, what if this plane crashes, what if i get food poisoning, what if SHE REJECTS ME. these are all irrational fears. So, when ever the 'what if' enters your mind....change that around to 'SO WHAT'. Say it out loud. Say 'so the FUCK what!', you will immediately feel less caring...and go in for the kill. Try it. The more you approach the more you will build on your core/natural confidence.
