I'm a serious type of guy
Stop it. You're not helping anyone, including yourself. Learn to laugh at yourself and others. (Just don't go making fun of yourself in front of people on purpose)
that doesn't like to open up and talk to people and even saying 'hi' to people could be a 'challenge' in itself.
PlayerSupreme. Look him up. He gives great advice on making conversation. Really helped me. I got some mp3s if you like.
I'm usually 'heavily guarded', have a tense and tight posture (a stiff if you will), and seem to be in heavy thought most of the time. All the attributes that would work against me - because that's not the type of person you can imagine that would loosen up, hang out and let go with a chick.
Your problem: You are not comfortable in your own skin.
I'd likely freeze up, and hope I"m not put in a spot to prove that I'm a normal guy. You already know that I'm analytical, and basically have all the social habits of a nerd or geek or someone that's bad with women.
I know. I have some of that too. Mostly the analytical. You just have to stop thinking and analysing and start believing. You have to have faith. In whatever you choose. But mostly you should have belief in yourself and your abilities. aka: Confidence.
And if you don't have any abilities, then get some. And don't do it because other do... do it because you want to. If you believe that it leads to hapiness, then move in that direction.
What I'm saying is that it is difficult for me to visualise me having fun with a chick,
I'll let you in on a little secret:
If you think you are Batman every single day, you will eventually become batman.... kind of. You'll be that crazy guy in the cosutme running around at night.
If you think that you are a successful business man with motivation towards getting ahead... you will eventually become a successful businessman.
If you think that you are the greatest bodybuilder ever and you visualize yourself the way that you want to look like and perform during a contest. You will become that. (Schwarzenegger)
You are whatever you want to be. And the reason that you see yourself as a nerd and an analytical is because that what you labelled yourself as. That is the image that you see in the mirror. And that is the image that you see in your mind.
but I'll give it a try and report back on December to see if this stuff works. I'll try one or a few visionalisations a day to see if it works - but I've already warned you in the paragraph above that it would not be congruent.
With visualizations, its just like everything else. You have to crawl before you can walk. Just imagine yourself doing everyday things to get into the habit.
Think of making a sandwich, washing the car, reading a book you forgot about. And then go out and do that.
It gets your mind into the habit of: "If I think it, then I will go and do it."
Make this a habit.
THEN. After you get the basics down. Move the bar up a little. Think of saying hello with that cute secretary and chatting with her (instead of keeping it business). Think of yourself giving a great and lively presentation (intead of a mediocre one) at work.
And then progress up to thinking about how that chick you asked out has the hots for you and keeps rubbing your leg as you say nasty **** in her ear and feeling her up. Then you think about how cut and big you look in the gym. And think about driving that fast ride with all the bling on it. (Like NOX, rollcage, custom transmission... etc.)
Thing is, you have to progress slowly and keep your mind in check. Visualization is thinking and imagining with a PURPOSE, no daydreaming! And you are in control every step of the way.
If you started thinking about you doing some chick and winning competitions of your choice... it would be a dream at this stage. You have to raise the bar a little higher. Not so much that its a dream, but just ebough that it IS possible.
That's why I joined club REMAX - it's full of positive and successful people there, and I will be a successful agent.
No idea what that is. Beware the frauds.
And one more thing: Everything you are, everything you ever will be and everything you were (after the age of 16ish) is ALL YOU. You chose that. You chose to be who you are today. You did it slowly. Bit by bit. You created yourself and the life around you.
If you want a better life, all you have to do is create that. Bit by bit. One step at a time.
My suggestion to you would be to make a vision/goal board. (This helps with visualization and motivation. Really.)
Take a corkboard and put pictures of things that you like. Put a picture of a hot babe that you think you could get once you get your **** straight. Out a picture of a nice car. Like a BMW or a low-end ferrari or one of those nice restored classics. Put a picture of a house that you would like to be able to afford in a few years. And make it BIG. Not a multi-million dollar mansion, but just BIGGER than you think you could ever get. And keep looking at this stuff everyday for a few minutes and wishing you had it. Get into it alot. Feel yourself WANTING that.
Really gets your ass in gear when you know what you want and you see a little "preview" of what you could have once you straighten everything out.

I'm using the vision board too. Just started applying the lessons from that documentary. Already I'm working harder at my studies (university), the gym, and just getting out and making more great friends.
Its great to have a reminder everyday of why you do things.
