Thought screw it im gonna start now.
Went to the supermarket to buy cat food, the supermarket was dead so never got that far. Getting people to hold eye contact is hard. Found that most people would not look me in the eye the few that did just glanced away after about a second. This did make me feel more confident tho.
Held eyecontact with a hot girl, I think she followed me right the way across the store to the herb isle. But I think her boyfreind turned up so mabye she never.
With everyone that actually gave me eye contact I 5 "hi's" in, pretty lame. Going to try again tomorrow. Talked to a girl working there that dropped a bag but only for a few seconds. Still not used to talking to random strangers.
Funny bit of my trip
I thought iv gotta get this talkin to strangers thing nailed even if its baby steps and talking to people that i do not feel threatened by. So I started to talk to the guy serving me at the till. Held eye contact the whole time, once he started talking he never shut up. He was actually getting nervous talking to me even started stuttering. I think he might have been gay and thought I was hitting on him.
All in all It was a mild succsess. Talked to two strangers for experiance and got about "5 hi's" off my list. Not going to included this in my eye contact exersise as I was not there long.
Don't know why i feel so threatened by girls at the moment. Like I used to be a skinny wimp but over the years turned myself into a fighing machine through weights and muay thai. Don't have a clue why im so intimidated by people who are about a foot shorter than me!
At least taking action his helping me get over this girl. She fell in love with me quick then as soon as I started to feel the same way about her she dropped me like a ginger step son. Been depressed and feeling sorry formyself since. Only way is up, so it can't be that bad.
