Hey Guys New to this, completed a weekend's training in Birmingham a few weeks ago. Was out yesterday in town and whilst I wasn't out to approach, as I made my way through the busy town crowd, I just felt completely in fear thinking about even opening. It's strange, when I was away from home I almost felt it possible (making approaches in bars in particular and possibly taking it into the street if I felt confident enough of a response) but now I'm back home I seem to be retreating, even in terms of bars. Even yesterday, I was out meeting friends and I could have opened on a girl at the next table but my mind just seems to go into overdrive. I was sitting there myself waiting on friends thinking she's probably thinking I wonder who's coming to meet him and if he'll try to open me. Honestly, wish I was wired differently when it came to this. Carry out so many assessments in my mind like, is she too pretty for me, am I too young for her, is she making eye contact etc etc. Sometimes if I get a situational opener that can be a perfect way for me to open. When I do opinion openers I sometimes worry the girl won't respond to me well despite the fact they have worked for me previously. I think being away in Birmingham, where no one knew me, where people may have been intrigued by the fact I was Scottish, where I was away from my day to day life it almost gave me a fresh outlook, I wasn't at home clicking away on my laptop and going to the same places all the time, I was going out, in a new city, meeting new people, it was quite refreshing. Now I'm back home feel as though I'm getting into some minor bad habits and chickening out of following through sometimes. Always waiting on the right opening but find it rarely comes. Sure you've heard it all before. Sometimes feel I need someone behind me to give me that push to see it through. Currently reading Think and Grow Rich which is quite inspiring and have ordered Neil Strauss The Game book and some Gambler stuff, DVD/Book. Anyone any tips/thoughts on overcoming approach anxiety and whether I should just open on anyone regardless and how to. Always feel I carry out assessments before following through but then don't we all. If I feel I'll get a response I might, if I feel I won't I'll only go for it if I get a situational. Regards Alan |
