Rejection Anxiety, You approach girl, she rejects you, you have less confidence, you approach girl with less confidence, ect. Remember that you need to approach with confidence. It will help you a lot.
That's right, you need to get right back on the bike if you fall off. Experience helps too. You realize that, ok fine it wasn't a click with Girl A, but Girl B is just around the corner wishing that a cool guy would come into her life. ....and here you come..
Thanks for all the replies. Reading these I realize I not so much lack the confidence to approach people, or confidence in myself. It's more a general confidence in other people that I think I lack. I personally just think I'm afraid to get hurt, again, by people. I just don't trust people too much and I think I don't want to approach because in the back of my skull is this little voice saying, they'll just use you, make fun of you, manipulate you and then throw you away.
The way you guys think of this makes me think, wow, I wish it was simple as that.
So it's weird, on the one hand I think it's confidence in people I lack, but on the other hand...
do I need to find the confidence in myself that people will treat me with the respect I think I deserve?
I'm going to let my brain think on that for a bit. I really want to make it about myself, so I can actually go do something about it, but I don't see the thread yet.
I think it's a perspective/world view right now, that needs some changing.
