1.) Warming yourself up by talking to people can work, but it has a serious FLAW. A FLAW that affirmations do not have. When you use affirmations you rely on yourself. When you warm up by talking to others you rely on others. What if the people you talk to are really negative? Your method will get you inconsistent results because by talking to different people you are going to be in inconsistent emotional states. You want to feel the same amount of confidence everytime so that you can rely on your self.
2.) This is not going to make anyone anxious, because you are supposed to read this and apply it to your life before you approach anyone. At your house, at your apartment every day you make yourself confident. Confidence is a lifestyle. That is what I am explaining to people....how to make confidence your lifestyle.
Hmmm, I found it different. A lot of my first approaches did get negative reactions, but what I found was that it was no big deal. Affirmation excersizes at home etc sound great, sure, but its when you are in the position to approach, when the AA actually hits, that you just have to push through. In the moment of AA a lot of this will be forgotten, and thats why I think it is the best way.
Failing is a great way to start actually, as its all but guaranteed until you get good. You have to fail to learn. But you need to approach to fail.
Anyway, its all horses for courses I guess. If your method does help some people then its gold for them.
