I first got into pua about a lil more than a year ago. Well I am back too step one again. I get nervous around women, and I am afraid to open some. I seem to not remember anything about material I read, and I was at a point where I over analyzed everything to great detail. It made my life just fly by for the past 4 months its been a blurr. I want to get good at pua, not just for women but for life. They preach about a way of perceiving life that many people have forgotten or are too blind. I just don't get why I took such a huge step back in my game. I might start a pu journal again, and just start from step one saying hi to people, then going from there. Do any of you guy feel the same way?
Yes it can make you worse,
I have experienced this myself. I stopped reading material for a while and focussed on other things. When i decided to rejoin the comunity i wrote this;

Question
When you had succes in the past how did you feel?
How do you feel while practacing PU?
If those two are differen you got your problem budy! Focus on the feelings and mindset you have instead of remembering stupid lines and fases.
You tell me you got worse,
So in other words you had succes in the past. Your experiences might be similar to mine. What happened to me after over studying pickup is that i stopped trusting in myself and started to trust in the material.
I thought all my answeres were to be found online and that all i had to do is read more. This stops you from being creative and intuitive (most important in pu). And even when you have minor succes when using canned material it doesn't really shape en define YOU as a person, but it proves your brain that you need more material.
What to do
Stop this proces right now buddy and look at pickup meterial as funny stuff that you can add to what you are already doing (right). You do not need to make core change or reprogram yourself like some dudes tell you. No dude you are good enough to pickup a girl, you've shown that in the past. And when you read material or study a bit of pu you should laugh and tell yourself; "i'm such a genius, because my brain already made me do this once"
Anyways i'm kinda blurry today. read this
-img-src-http-cdn2pick-up-artist-forumc ... tml#662732 it explains my point much better
i think what you should realize is this;
PU is still about YOU and what you do, not about pu material and reproducing material.
