so are u autistic? lol i love how people turn to blame diseases/disorders for their problems.
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Only losers bring up something from over a month ago, you see, DJs know how to let things go.Originally posted by Patrick124

Shut up beezy. Don't talk to your daddy like that.Originally posted by Viper
You know what dude, quite, I don't need to hear your ramblings. If you want to accuse me of being a troll, don't do that sh*t in my topic, because I don't want to f*cking hear it.
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.
Now, that's a nice reply.I've never freaked out over someone giving me advice, it's when people talk sh*t and critisize me about something they don't know anything about. Just like you are right now.
Believe or not there was a time where I actually use to not care what people thought, but because of my damn parents deciding move, things went downhill. Damn them, I had a lot of friends, a lot of girls liked me, most people, even those who didn't know me, thought I was cool, there was even this one girl that I probably WOULD have had a chance dating the next year, HAD MY PARENTS NOT MOVED(She even teased me, asking if I would be her boyfriend a couple of times)! This new school is just so different from my old one, it just doesn't feel the same, the types of people you find here are different, the environment is different, it's been very hard to adapt to. I don't know, something just happened when I moved, that set me off and ruined my self-esteem. My only connection with my old school, is that there's this one guy in my grade, who has a few friends that go there.Originally posted by Holland

But still, I think criticising is good, as long as it is positive criticing. I know there has been bad criticising in here too, you're right about that. But I still recommend that you're more open too some critics that you might not like to hear.
As for the topic of this thread:
I used to care about what other people think of me too. With me it was only in certain situations. Mostly at school and/or in places where I didn't know people that well.
The way I think right now is:
-These are people that don't or barely know me, so they aren't even thinking about me. I mean do you think something about someone who you barely know all the time, when you're in a pretty busy place? No, off course not, so you can be pretty sure, they aren't either.
-Even if there where a few off all these people that did think bad things about me, would they be worth my time over all the other people who wouldn't?
I'm going to try and reframe you:
Answer the next questions to yourself
-What is it exactly about them that makes you think that they would be thinking bad of you?
-Are you saying, that, if I would join wrestling tomorrow (note: I have never wrestled before, and know absolutely nothing about it), and I would have a wrestling day with lots of people, then they would all think I'm a loser for being a beginner?
-How does the actual process go, from them not knowing you at all, to -> them thinking you're a loser for being a beginner?
-Has there been a time that you thought that people thought you were a loser, but when they didn't (and maybe even liked you)?
(note: these answers are not to offend you or your thinking, they are to make you see things in another way)
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Thanks dude, I read over the advice and it definitely gives me a new insight on the thing, this is definitely going to help me fix the problem. Not really much more I can comment on as far as that post goes.
But yeah, enough of this whining bullsh*t, I'm going to change! As much as I hate to admit, the only person that's been holding me back from becoming who I want to become, holding me back from improving, is myself and I'm tired of holding back.

You know online test prove NOTHING right? Besides, there's a difference between just being paranoid and having the disease called "paranoia", it's much more severe.Originally posted by Indie
Sorry, but normal people don't think about that sort of thing that much and this forum is certainly of no use to you. http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
