I'm sure with a bit of help from you guys and maybe some confidence I can work my way around this. I am 22. I WAS living independently but I got ill and had to move home and also haven't worked in a while.

I've read a lot of the posts on here and gathered a lot of ideas and I can think my way around a situation of what to say, how to act and so on .. but that's not my issue.

My problem is that I am not greatly confident anyway in fact I never really approach women and although I'm convincing myself that I will (and soon) I'm not 100% confident about it. I think my home situation adds to this lack of confidence because I've got no job at the minute, not much money either, I'm only 5ft4 (which ain't a great help), I'm kinda shy/underconfident, I'm the not the worst looking guy and I'm built athletically which is something.. but the whole situation's putting me off just going out there and trying my luck. Do any of you more experienced guys have any words of advice on how to give myself a confidence boost that might help me,? Or do you have tips on how to put something bad - having no job - in a positive light?

listen to david d advance series seminar.
It seems like you need to reframe your inner game

M8, you dont need cash a job or your own home to be interesting or seductive! As you propably have figured out you need selfesteem, I get mine from approaching, working out and playing with my dog.

So I'd simply say this: Do things you like- it makes you happy and confident. And second as long as your not straight out misshapen dont worry about how tall you are or so on.
AND GET URE ASS OUT SRGING! reading forums is good but real life exp is what really matters. You have the tools, now use them.

hmm you got approach anxiesty, tell you what, ask yourself:
What can possibly go wrong when you approach a girl?

She wont kill you or slap you exept if you do something relly retarded like doing a kino on personal places i can tell you that as a fact.

Theres nothing to worry about act up as this innocent guy but still show interrest.

You dont need money to get girls.

Also to remove that approach anxiesty you can do what my mate smile4now does, he hardcore searg in the streets, some searges he does without intentions just as practice to talk to others, like approaching someone thats way to old for you. just try it, nothing bad can happen.

Good luck
