That's a positive sign. You're beginning to see that there is more to life than women and only then will you become a DJ.

As for me, Seraph, I have lost all motivation, bootcamp just isn't working anymore.

That's a shame to hear man. I still think the first 4 weeks are the most pivotal parts of bootcamp. The stuff after that isn't as jarring to your old ways as the frst 4 weeks are. Maybe I say that because I haven't really tried past week 5, but eh. Apod's running out of steam, you're out of steam, Duke's going through some tough times- what is this? Some kind of epidemic? I don't know what else I can say to try and inspire you, I don't want to waste space and sound like a broken record. If you haven't yet, look at my latest entry in Duke's journal, I put some advice there for him because he's running low like yourself. We've all been slacking off...you try to always stay out of your comfort zone but...you can't always stay out of it. I can't explain it, you won't really know what I'm talking about until you do a few weeks of bootcamp yourself (not talking to you EO, but the other readers).

I was thinking about this today. I know I'm not done with bootcamp, nor am I at the point where I one day wish to be, but...I really don't know. I feel kind of weird saying this, but I really don't like some parts of the DJ mindset. I don't plan to go pick up 80 different women each week. Nor do I go clubbing alot, although I'm not seeing a huge amount of scuess besides ONS from clubbing. Although my confidence level isn't where it should be, and I don't have a gf yet (although I'm surrounded by afc chumps with gf's) I'm still proud of how far I've gone. It gets me down at times to be alone, even though I'm working on other stuff in my life...I still want to get laid alot like everyone else :rolleyes: . I still have alot of work to do to get to where I want to be, but it's somewhat comforting knowing what I have to work on, and pressing forward with this. Can't just give up and go for some ugly fat girl, I deserve better, I will be better than I curently am. I dont know, I'm still not sure. I'm rambling, but at least I'll still keep trying.

I concur with some of the above but I want to be with a girl cos I choose , not cos I can't get a better one.

Well isn't that sort of the same thing? You want to be able to choose your girl, and don't want to be stuck with one that you know is not as "good" as you could get? I guess good is a better word, since for some people personality and other things are major factors, while for others it's all about the looks/sex.

I feel the same way. I don't want to approach 80 different women every week either. I think maybe your only supposed to do that for the duration of Bootcamp and once its over you can meet anybody you choose to. You know what I mean right, how many times have you seen a hot girl walking by and wished you could meet her? So maybe it's more about meeting that one girl and not the 80.

As for running out of steam....maybe it's because Bootcamp isn't supposed to go on this long. It's supposed to be difficult to toughen you up quickly but it's not meant to go indefinitely.

I'm not saying you should give up. Hell I even started over. Maybe you should reaffirm your goals here and that will give you something to aim for.

Don't worry about being repetive with giving me advice, sometimes it doesn't sink in like it should :)

Some questions for you:

1. Do you fear approaching girls now?

2. Can you meet any girl that you choose to?

3. Do you fear rejection?

4. How is your social life doing? For me this is a biggie, I need to work on that. Meeting girls seems to be the easy part compared to making real friends.

onward,

I think our problem is we're just drifting around aimlessly. It should be about Week 9 by now but the three of us have fell behind. Particularly for Seraph and I, there is no daily or weekly target which is leading to apathy.

How about we re-establish some short term goals? We need some kind of daily mission to bring us out of the comfort zone.

Any ideas for a task that we can all force ourselves to go ahead with?

1. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It largely depends on my mood. When I'm feeling good, I have no problems approaching them now, when before, even at my best times I could usually manage only a smile or hi.

2. Same answer as number 1. The approaching and stuff is more of a mental game than anything. When you're feeling down, you just have no motivation.

3. Not anymore, I stopped fearing it after the first couple of rejections.

4. My social life is doing good, but not as great as it could be. I'm not going to random parties like some of you people are, and hooking up with mass drunk girls like most college kids. I'm making more friends in class though and it's easier to chat them up during/after/before class. I still prefer times when I'm not the center of attention like most alpha males are. Hell, there are times when my introvert side comes up and I don't really feel like hanging out with anyone. It doesn't always happen when I'm in a bad mood either, I'll just feel like chilling by myself.

How about we re-establish some short term goals? We need some kind of daily mission to bring us out of the comfort zone.
I agree with you, and I'm all ears to suggestions. I can't really think of any goals to get myself motivated, but maybe someone else has some ideas.

the one thing i don't like about the BC is some of the HI's and Hellos. I'm really not so much into being a social butterfly as i am in banging HB9s and what not. is there an advanced BC?
