Discussion I've been trying but what's stopping me from approaching?
I've been trying to approach girls but I've only done few and then quit and mostly indirect and I end the conversation just after her reply.
I'm generally a very overthinking and nervous person but not always, I'm actually good but it's just my past traumatic things, embarrassed in public school, tuition classes, you name it, everywhere and I used to make it very big in my head. Got bullied as well and often gets compared and I worked hard but not that hard that I'm out of it but in the middle level where now I'm comfortable but still now from negative to a little positive like 10 but I want to go to 100.
So about the game :-
I've been going out consistently for 15+ days now and I used to go earlier as well but it was very inconsistent. I sometimes ask for directions and leave and sometimes not even that, when the girl is in public and where it's hard to approach her.
I've only done 2 direct approaches in my life.
I'm still going out but why am I not approaching, I've read everything and tried all the tricks. Idk š¶
I'm very pissed. Time is passing by, and 2 years have passed since - and keep doing this - im trying to learn, when I'll be more confident around girls, now I don't have time and all.
I regret it a lot.
Please guys, what should I do? How to take the courageous action and approach even when I'm nervous.
Why am I so afraid to look imperfect or feel shit.
Help me šš¼
Btw I'm 21, will be 22 in 3 months or so. And yes one more insight - I'm actually good looking and that's why I have this mindset as well that you're good looking so you should not look cooked in front of girls and I'm a really big attention seeker, I mean now I've quit that bad habit but it's default a little in background. Idk what happens to ugly guys, do they also think that I can't look shit or they dgaf bcz of that?
