"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

Something odd that I've noticed in the last ten years since finding this site...

All during my childhood and even into my early adult years, I had a piss-poor memory. I'd forget where I put things, what I was doing, where something was, etc. If anything, I've noticed that my memory has actually IMPROVED with my increase in confidence.

Increased confidence and decreased anxiety lead to much better mental functioning in general. I look back on my school years and I was a piss poor student, in all the lowest math classes, friends made fun of me for being dumb, and I thought very little of myself.

Fast forward 10 years and I was in advanceed level college classes and getting A's and B's. I don't believe I was ever dumb as a kid. I blame my anxiety for most of my inability to concentrate in life.
