Hey everyone,

Name's Eric and I gotta get something off my chest.

I used to be active in this forum, looking for routines and this and that. Then I stopped for a long time and now here I am, back where I started.

First of all, I know I'm not a bad catch. I'm 22 years old and I live in Holland. I'm studying to become a kindergarden teacher, I play the guitar and I teach playing the guitar. This summer I'll be streetperforming in Zealand (Holland) and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm easygoing, funloving and most people I know are comfortable around me. I have two brothers, a younger one and an older one, which automatically makes me the middle one. Don't have a lot of friends, but that doesn't matter cause the ones that I do are REAL friends. Also, and this is important to me, I'm not an asshole.

Last night I went out with a friend of mine, who just became single. We had a couple of drinks, some laughs; basically we had a good time. But of course while having fun, you're still looking around for girls, right? That's just common sense. Now my friend doesn't mind going up to people, but I do. Even though I would have no trouble talking to people during daytime, I'd wet myself just thinking about doing the same thing at night. Average approach anxiety? Maybe. But I recently found out why I get cold feet all the time. It's because I'm the kind of guy that takes things personal. I know it's stupid, but even the thought of some girl I don't even know laughing in my face is unbearable for me. It´s happened to me before and it really made me miserable. How do I learn to let things go? I don't know, I guess that's the reason I'm posting this.

Anyway, that's kind of my story in a nutshell. Read it, think about it, and share your thoughts with me. It would mean a lot to me.

Thanks in advance,
Eric
