"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
How do you tell if you have an Anxiety Disorder?

"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.
Anxiety is not the same as being mentally challenged, and an assh*ole on top of that.pua1989 said:ask luke skywalker.....on second thought, dont do that he doesnt realize it either
OP: Can you describe in detail, what you mean? Is there a time when you don't have such symptoms, like when going on vacation, changing locations and environment... etc.
It could be something in your diet, or something you're lacking. Could be a physical problem, could be something wrong with your adrenaline production and so on. There's so many causes for things. You need to find out what it is and eliminate the problem.
How do I think you can tell? If there mere thought of doing something, not just the doing, gives you a sense of fear and dread and doubt. And if you avoid doing things because you KNOW they will go badly.
This is severe anxiety and I have to fight it all the time.

For example, when I'm outside of school with my friends and when I'm in classes where I'm friends with everyone (6/8 classes) I feel comfortable and right at home. But when I'm in school walking in the hallways (well, I just graduated, so idk) I always felt like everyone was always watching me and as a result I just did things... differently. I dont know how to describe it, but like I would have these little awkward mannerisms, I'd lose my swagger, I'd accidently leave out words, I'd mumble, etc.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
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.
