What's up?

I'm new to this site and the PUA community in general. I remember reading The Game back when I was in High School. That was maybe 6 years ago now. I had even bought the accompanying workbook that gave you different tasks to complete daily and track your progress. Honestly, I didn't make it past the first week. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the book that I can remember, but at the time I didn't really see a use for it. To elaborate, I've never really had issues getting laid. I'm 24 and I've been with upwards of 50 women. Mind you, not all of these were of the best quality (alcohol can do that to a man).

I'm here now for a couple of reasons.

First, I've recently been in kind of a slump. My confidence has been down and social interactions have seemed way more like a chore to me lately. I know that socializing is important but I've gotten to a point where I can't. I know the reason I feel like this. I'm short on friends out here. I recently moved to IN from CA (for family). I work a night shift which makes it difficult to meet people. I know I just need to suck it up and start putting myself out there again, but going to a bar by myself depresses the shit out of me.

This next reason is related to the first. For basically the same reasons, I find it far more difficult to relax and be in the moment. To a point that I almost feel neurotic. I will literally find something in a situation that I do not like and fixate on it. Things that I can't control. It will be something that I know I can't do anything about, but despite knowing that, it can bother me to the point that it ruins my night.

Third, I feel that getting involved in this community will help me analyze my own social interactions. Not just by opening myself up to other perspectives, but also by making me more aware of myself and I how I handle certain situations. Through this I hope to improve myself socially. I know the value good social skills have. I know the potential impact they can have on mine or anyone's life. Getting laid is only a smaller part of the problem for me. I know this is going to sound self-centered, but I want to develop the skill set that will make me the life of the party.

Finally, I'm here for the same reason I'm sure a lot of men come here. To get laid. I know what I said before. I've had plenty of sex. More than some, less than others. What I'm interested in is being more in control of that end result. Hooking up with the hottest chick at a club, rather than settling for her friend, or having to drink enough to actually get the courage to talk to her. Building the confidence I need to not miss the opportunities that get presented to me, like picking up that cute girl that works at Starbucks. Basically, just having the confidence to do what I want, when I want and stop letting stupid mental blocks getting in the way.

If you read through all of this, I appreciate it. Feel free to message me or respond to this post. I do like to talk, as you may have guessed, but I also like to listen. I believe the only way real way to know truth, is to be exposed to as many different perspectives as possible. That being said, any advice or resources you want to give me will always be appreciated. Also, I live in South Bend, IN. I do go out to Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, MI a lot and sometimes Chicago. If you're interested in hanging out, we can figure something out.

One last thought... I look forward to being involved in this community. I hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment when I say that I can't wait to start learning and improving and eventually help other guys do the same.
