I can't help but throw my two cents into this. Seireitou makes an amazing point, but I want you to keep in my the kind of person you are. If you strive too far from your comfort zone, you're bound to fumble and fall all over the place. Seireitou is a Martial artist? Doesn't he make the point that taking a martial artist out of their sphere of influence shakes their standing in battle? Stray too far from your regular self, and your bound to stumble on the you you're trying to show the world. My advice, as a fellow adolescent gone young adult, is to work on showing women the NERVOUS you. If you go to them, truthful and straightforward, they will know you're trying — believe me. It’s not about going out of your way to kill your anxiety, but rather to master and maintain it. I say this, because I’m the same way — I can’t talk to girls for shit. Though...I’ve had about nine girlfriends. My current girlfriend I met through being myself, 100%, and it’s the best relationship I’ve been in. I don’t have to hide the fact I don’t have all the answers, that I get scared at times, and the fact that I’m not some solid as steel warrior that can fight all of her battles. Anyway, like Seireitou, I’m not trying to make this about me. You should just be yourself. Don’t challenge yourself to approach a scenario you yourself can’t picture as successful. Don’t always assume the worst case scenario. Enjoy your life, and give new experiences a shot. However, do it in relation to who you are. Hope that helps, pal.
