I've come along way, however I have found that I have only made real genuine progress in my life within the last 3 months or so, since I have stopped reading this forum.
The PUA 'community' and the mystery method fucked me up socially and with women for the first few months I read into both of them. Mystery can go fuck himself for all I care because he ruined my confidence in many ways with his techniques so I am so so so glad I stopped trying to use MM as it just turns you into a robot with fuck all personality Imo.
I started the game having alot of female friends, some of which desired me but I was too stupid too notice and too much of a coward to pull the trigger as I didn't have any sexual confidence. When I started learning 'game' I lost most of these females in my life and they lost interest in me because I tried too hard with them and wasn't my normal funny and charming self, I thought I was learning a super successful secret system that would guarantee me a more successful sex life but it fucked me over completely.
Then I found 2 instructors who I swear by, AFC adam and Sinn, both of whom taught me that
pick-up is supposed to be fun! which is why I was failing so badly, I didn't see it as fun, I just held onto it like it was the most important thing in my life. AFC adam and Sinn showed me how many of the techniques that you learn are bullshit and turn you into a social retard, and taught me in a simple way how to be more comfortable socially and a good mindset to acquire, although I didn't try to remember every single thing they taught because it was too much for my mind to handle.
After not visiting this forum often if at all, and by chucking away the mystery method and 'the game' and actually going out instead of reading so much, I actually learnt more than ever instead of being a "keyboard jockey"
So it's almost as if I have gone full circle to where I was before, but with more confidence on every level, and appreciating my life more
