i think i have a f*cked-up mind

[Obsidian]

My (bad) experiences with the ladies seem to have really bruised my views of things. Even though I've got a few girls somewhat lined up atm, I'm constantly doubting myself. I try to tell myself that it doesn't even matter what happens on a date, but I still feel a good amount of involuntary stress.

Bah. Pook save me. I shall press on! On the bright side, my #-closing abilities are improving dramatically. Anti-Dump's machine will guide my life now.

kinda felt like venting

Don't worry about it bro.

You seem like a man whose got his head on straight to me.

Whats past is past.

You are moving forward with confidence!

Quit trying to impress!! On a date it is YOU who should qualify her - didn't pook say you are "The Prize", or was that ,'"The Surprise", anyways I forget, just quit stressing over being judged and take the lead!!

yeah, that's what I tell myself. It is definitely true, but it's kinda hard to keep firmly in mind.

i probably need to go work out soon or something to de-stress. Haven't done it in almost a week.

I'm the same. A lot of it probably has to do with your upbringing and how you were conditioned as a child.

"Your success is directly proportional to how many times you push yourself to step outside your comfort zone."

"Confidence is not attained by living vicariously. Instead of grabbing life by the balls, half of you sit there and let it pass you by. You can't get back lost hours, days or weeks...there is no reset button in this game so stop acting as if you have all the time in the world. You are not immortal and your future is not guaranteed."

Don't worry it takes time to change any behavior, your going to feel the same for a while but over time any behavior you constantly repeat just becomes second nature.

You'll ease up for a while, when we first get out there and start dating we want to impress SO bad, we go out of our way to look and act perfect in every way, that creates a lot of internal pressure which is pretty much in relation to what's known as "choking" in sports.

Of course we want to look decent all the time, but once you get used to it, going on a date shouldn't require much more work/thinking than going to school or work. Hopefully most of us don't go to work/school like total slobs, but we're not constantly thinking about impressing everyone etc. and we are much more at ease. Eventually you'll be like that on dates, no worries all goals take time.

Dude you do not have a fcked up mind. Its natural for the mind to be negative, it takes work to be positive. Sounds like ur on the right track though, keep on keepin on.
