I go out and sarge malls during the day I really can't explain what my brain does to me. this goes for bars too. in truth 95% of interactions i have start with the woman initiating (i know lame)

my case of aa is very severe

my friend took me out and got me to open sets with the "my friend needs a gift what should i get her opener" in stores which i used about 9 times these past 2 weeks. none even really went badly. he told me i could have number closed 2 out of the 2 he saw me do and these girls gave iois.

(I have a journal in the journal section btw if people want to help me out and evaluate what i'm doing)

even with the limited success however whenever i drive myself to the mall. my brain hijacks me and is an excuse machine. my sarge buddy isn't in town anymore

Theres too many people around this store

That girl saw me look at her

The employees will start labeling me as the guy that comes and hits on chicks

girls only give out numbers at the mall to be nice

that girl is too snobby looking or in a hurry

i'm too tired

I even am not concerned about what to say because i've gone over it with myself hundreds of times. I've read so many books and observed so much game online and in real life. I have the smarts and the strategy. I don't have the balls.

Is there any weird rituals that you guys do to break your aa? I am open to any and all ideas at this point. or link anything that helped you defeat aa?

I'm over in mesa and have a similar issue. Let's hit up the mall soon

To develop a lasting change, you have to take baby steps at it. For example just ask ten women for the time. The next day ask ten women for the time then follow it up by asking them how their day is going. Each day you make it harder and more intensive. Eventually you'll be able to approach any woman in any circumstance and express your interest in her without fear or worrying about what to say. Also chat up people who work in stores, even the elderly. You'll be surprised at how talking to a sixty year old woman makes it much easier to talk to the hottie close by later. I used to warm up by going to the vitamin store and arguing supplements with whoever worked there. Getting rid of approach anxiety is a long process and takes practice. But once you overcome this, the rest is secondary.
