"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.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I started off a bit fvcked up about the way I looked. Half my energy went on what others where thinking about me, worried I'd embarrass myself. Consequentially I'd fvck up.
Then it became a good excuse to become a semi-hermit.
I have/had a huge amount of tension build up in my muscles and spent alot of time feeling very tired.
I'm still a bit this way, however bizzarely I've made huge strides in confidence recently, I can do approaches and C&F with great panash.
Check out a thread on Avpd, this may be relevant too.
Here's some things I have banged into my brain.
There is no point in giving a sh1t what other people think of you.
The only way to make progress is social exposure with the above mindset.
Reduce physical tension through Tia Chi, Qui Gong, yoga combined with general exercise.
There was a thread a while ago on anxiety. Someone recommeded a link to The Lynden Method. I bought the stuff and it helped me alot also. In the UK they also send the CDs and give you a quick call.
It has helped people with very severe social anxiety and may help you.
I suspect feeling tired is one thing, but it's quite another to not do things in life you want to do, but are too fearful to try.
Good luck

even with break on. i sleep till noon, sometimes 7 - 10 hrs of sleep and still get to work tired. Of course hitting the gym helps me sleep better, but when i wake up to go to work im still exhausted.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
