How can I overcome this train of thought?
Go out more. A lot more. Do approaches. Self amuse. Game, game and more game. This is experience. Going out basically every day, or at least as often as possible, doing opens, interacting... you are rewiring your brain.
I used to sit and play transport tycoon or dwarf fortress for weeks at a time. NEVER went out. But after sticking to the plan and going out I have learned the habit of being social. That is what Cold Approach Pickup is about. These other people are more comfortable in social situations because they have done it more, period. But if you have a method, you will get better and have more fun and be more comfortable than all these other people you are thinking of. Dude, PUA is revenge of the nerds. You'll seem like a wizard to your friends in no time flat.
