"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.

It's not that I feel I must be perfect....

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Follow your bliss
Read what I said in your other thread man! Do not use this forum as a catalyst for your stream of consciousness, rather do that in your own brain and get the answers you want yourself!

What are you afraid of? You are good enough.

I'm still looking
You remind me of a previous poster named "ItsOnNow". Making threads questioning one's self. Seriously, go out and play the field. Stop posting.

CC,
I have to agree.


This is not healthy.


I knew you were precariously perched at the edge of a cliff.
This is no longer honoring you, nor serving you.


Seek professional help.

I dont believe you can do this alone.
Please get some help.
Why??

Because you're 'hearing' us, but not LISTENING to us.

You've been given good advice, but you are choosing not to take it.

You know that the medecine you seek is inside, but you continue to seek the 'magic pill' that you think is outside you.

When you cant even keep yourself healthy, and nurtured, you need to admit it. You dont have proper self management skills.
You need to get them.

And you need to get to someone who can help you.

If you're not even willing to give some of the advice here a try, then you must acknowledge you have a very very serious problem and need professional help now.

So you have to ask yourself

"Am I willing to take action?"

or

"Do I prefer to keep whining about my situation and not doing anything about it?"

I know you're going through a lot.
Actualy, MOST of us here are actually going through some turbulent times.
Very very few people here have really solid deep inner peace and fulfillment.


And its ok.

You're not alone.

But you're making a serious error when you keep up this self pity and self doubt, and beat yourself into the ground.


We're men here.
Soldiers , Warriors, Brothers. Mentors.

You need to look deep inside and look at the choices you are making.


Everyone has bad days.


But we must recognize we need Tactics to get through them.
And an overall plan...
..a strategy.

Get yourself together, and stop the negative, downward spiral.

I can't help if I question myself. I mean,I am trying to figure out how and why I ended up like this,like I need to know.I can't let it go. Or,I am just too in my head. Or,it is something more. Something social,or how I do or do not carry myself,or how I do or do not "fit in".

No.I can't do this alone. But I am trying to figure certain things out.Which only I may be able to do.


"Because you're 'hearing' us, but not LISTENING to us.

Yeah. That's been a problem for me.

As for the whole last part,about stopping the self pity,the downward spiral,the beating one's self down,idk,it's like,thats all I know. I am locked onto that. I wake up every day,and it begins. And things just reinforce that anger. It could be any little thing.

"When you cant even keep yourself healthy, and nurtured, you need to admit it. You dont have proper self management skills."

I have admitted it. I can't seem to find a way out.
 

"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.
