Hi everyone, I've read bits and pieces of PUA history and material. There seems to be quite a bit out there as far as material and styles. Is Mystery still relevant? I understand he was pretty instrumental in laying the groundwork for most modern techniques. If so or if not what is some good material to start with? I have The Game but I've read that that's more of just a good story than a guide.

I should mention my biggest hurdles right now are my often crippling social anxiety and lack of aggrssiveness. It might be misleading to say I have social anxiety bc I'm not shy whatsoever, I am very outgoing and talkative, and I've been told I'm very charming and have a lot of personality. Its just that my full personality often doesn't get showcased bc I get nervous or anxious in certain settings/social situations. If I had to guess I'd say a lot of it is directly related to my lack of confidence due to where I'm at in life. I come from a pretty large and successful family and I've kind of been an underachiever. I'm sure getting nervous when approaching isn't uncommon but for me it causes awkward jitteriness and unnatural/odd movements/stiffness and body language. I've strongly considered getting on meds for it or even to use as needed to avoid addiction but I thought improving my pick up abilities couldn't hurt either and that the success it could bring me would help improve my confidence and alleviate some of my anxiety. It's frustrating bc most people have told me I'm very attractive, and so I get plenty of attention and opportunities which are often sabotaged by my anxiety and awkwardness. I just want to achieve my full potential! Thanks in advance for any help and sorry this was so long.
