forced myself to act despite the painful nervousness by kinda doing the following >Breaking it down So for example instead of approaching a qt girl to ask her out, I'd make a goal to ask 3 people what time it is. Then ask 3 people directions to a restaurant I already knew the location of. Then I stepped it up to asking girls for directions. Then hot girls. And so on.
Another example, driving anxiety. I would only go out to learn at night (less traffic) on neighborhood streets only. Stuff like that.
Also mindfulness meditation. After about a year of it, it finally started to pay dividends. Acknowledging the awkwardness of my behaviors in the moment started to hurt less and less. They were a passing sensation. All the years of collecting humiliating experiences seemed to shrink into passing sensations. It's hard to explain until you've done mindfulness meditation for awhile.

I'm happy you made it brobot.

Tried at first but I crashed and burned a ton. They say willpower is like a muscle and I would "overtrain" way too much. Because I was (and in some ways) still kind of am a MAJOR pussy with a low capacity for patience and self discipline, the only things I do every day is do 10-30 minutes of mindfulness meditation and keep track on the accountability calendar/whiteboard.
Hey thanks m8!

What's your diet like? I'm curious because what I ate recently is making me feel like shit.
Caleb James
How did you stave off the apathy?
Nathaniel Morales
oatmeal eggs chicken breast broccoli oranges and bananas bran cereal burritos brown rice peanut butter
Trying to stave off lots of sugar and empty carbs because that shit murders me. Energy wise. Also water, coffee, or tea.
I'm honestly not sure. Brute force maybe? I've been trying to sincerely implement these changes since I was 19 and have just now found my rhythm. The indifference, anger, brooding, and temptation to give up along with general violent mood swings ebbs and flows. I found it's less about a cure and more about managing expectations. Also being patient with myself. I'm honestly not sure man, because it rears its ugly head still and does some serious damage.
