I have Always Thinking syndrome. Every second of the day, except for a select few times, I am thinking. In most social situations, I find myself thinking about what I just said, what I'm going to say next, what the other person thinks of me, how I can apply game to this situation, how I can improve my impression, how I can come off high value. And I can tell you right now, it kills game, it kills your vibe, and it kills any value you have.

When you aren't thinking is called being present. You aren't worried about what you just said, or what you're going to say next. And these are the moments that you shine. Think about it. The last good night you had, when you were just on, or that last good conversation you had where you just flowed and everything went perfect. How much were you thinking? How much of that was preplanned, and how much did you just say instinctually, on the spot?

This is my major problem right now, and I can't think of any way to get over it. A girl says something, and I think, "What do I say to that?". A guy says something, and I think, "What's something funny I can say to that?". And it has to stop.

Does anybody have any ideas for getting over Always Thinking Syndrome?

I used to have this problem. I got over it by letting go of the percieved control I had over my life. I had to learn to trust other people. I had to risk my emotions to complete strangers. It was hard, but now I jump at the chance to be vulerable because I know It makes people respect me more and I always end up much stronger. ALWAYS - thats an absoulte statement.

Walk Hard

I was doing the style challenge. There was this one day where you're not allowed to brush your teeth, shave, or shower and then go about your day.

I recommend no hygiene for 2-3 days. Let yourself go. You'll realize no one really gives a f*ck about the negative things you do. You will not be as self concuss as you were. And when you do clean up you'll feel so much more confident.

You learn so much from this exercise, more than I can explain. Do it. It will solve your problem.

Meditation actually helps me for this, like Hobbit said.

I'm still not great in this area, but meditation has really helped me improve my focus in all situations, not just pickup.

One little "trick" is to focus in solely on the girl, like she's the only person in the entire universe. When you start out meditation, people say to focus solely on the breath. Eventually you get past this, but focusing on the girl is the same way. Eventually you won't have to think, but for now, just limit it to focusing on the girl.

Every thread you make Sharplin, I end up thinking "he should just have fun".

A guy who is having fun is of more value as you put it, than a guy who is trying to be high value and thinking what to say and such.
