yes indeed the curse of the pink summer dress is a tough one. As far as anxiety i used to go around and talk to everyone i saw like they were classmates. me and my friends really got overshyness by acting stupid. rather than rying for coolness or suaveness we just kinda did what made us laugh. kinda like jackass. and it works after a while most people who hang around us become natural conversationalist and they dont even realize it they're just having fun acting like little boys. and ive heard em say little boys are the best don juans. like with us back in the days if they freaked out we laughed. if they like us we laughed with them. and sometimes we'd have a whole public place engaged in a conversation with us. hell last night me and some friends were at waffle house and all the waitresses waiters, and people eating were in there laughing and talking with us and as we opened up our aura of confidence everyone else slowly opend up theirs and the place was glowing with laughter and extra clever C&F talk.
