Hi i am new in the community and im square one AFC. I'm 17 and my whole life i have been very shy. I have done the Svengali's newbie mission and I can say hi to most people passing me but my approach anxiety has not gone away. Should I continue doing this till i get rid of my AA. I've been doing this for a week.
Thanks
The point of the exercise isn't to make the "AA" disappear, but to make newbies initiate the contact so that they stop being afraid to death of rejection.
Don't stop at saying just Hi, initiate some conversations, interact with people. Go to a mall and ask for an opinion on style & clothing, ask for some directions and don't stop even there - prolong the interaction as much as possible.
