I think of this when I get Approach Anxiety.
Michael Jordan said:
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I cant accept not trying."
I think of that and I take a deep breath and go for it. If thats how Michael Jordan thought and he became that succesfull by thinking that way, then I should think that way too. And so should you.

Absolutely.
Ultimately, the only true failure is the failure to try. Everything else is called learning.
Keep learning, don't give up. You will have success if you keep on learning and improving your skills. |

i honestly don't know how religious any of you are... but the serenity prayer works pretty well... and hey, if you're not religious it can still apply to you:
"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference." |

It is my own experience that the feeling of not even trying is way, WAY more awful then the feeling of a rejection. Besides rejection shouldn't even affect you - because there is always a lesson to learn. Also most girls aren't mean when they reject people. Most of them say that they have to go and are quite polite. This can't exactly be described as painful. All in all you can say that when it comes to approaching women then there is nothing to loose - but everything to gain.
Another thing... rejection isn't failure. If you learn something from it then its a success. |

Its better to regret something you did do, than something you didn't.

"It's better to die on your feet than live on your knees"
This one is incredibly powerful for me. Anyone know its origin? |

One of my favourite quotes, useful for all kinds of scary situations:
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
-Frank Herbert, the Dune series |
