So just about everyone suffers from approach anxiety, and there are plenty of threads about it and about different openers.

This thread is more about your mindset when you walk into a pub/bar/nightclub and how you get rid of your approach anxiety?

Personally I do not have any problems these days with approaching others (Yes I still get nervous but I know how to handle it in a way that works for me) I am just curious as to how others tackle the issues and maybe in sharing this information it might help out some newer PUAs.


So my mindset for when I walk into a place is always like this...

I am a god, I am the guy everyone in here wants to meet, I am the guy everyone here wants to be, I am master chief in Halo, I am Snake in Metal gear solid, I am Samuel L Jackson in pulp fiction, I am Yoda in Star wars, I am Darren brown, Dynamo and Harry Potter in the magical world, I am barney stinson in How I met your mother.
I do not care if I pull tonight or not, I do not care if I have sex tonight or not, I am here to have fun, I am here to enjoy myself, I am here to let other people see how awesome I am, I am here to meet new people, I do not care if they are hot or not, I do not care if they are a man or woman, I am here to let them meet me. I am a legend amongst my friends and soon I will be a legend amongst these people.

As for when I start to feel approach anxiety I get rid of it by thinking...

Yes I saw a target, no I am not going to approach her instead I am walking to the toilet/bar and as I walk past I am going to say hello or an opener to my side I do not care if I get a response or not.

Or I think..

opening means nothing, it is just a chance for them to meet me, opening does not mean I have to sleep with this person, yes they are attractive but I dont care because I am hotter and better looking than them and I am a legend that is giving them a chance to meet me.


What are your tricks/mindsets for handling approach anxiety?

look up at the night sky and realise how vast and insignificant everything is, walk up and say hi, may as well have fun in life while we still exist, i find this relaxes me too

Best Method:
Pretend you own the place , your james bond , a perfect 10 and can get any women you want . If your mind set is like this you will project buckets of confidence and she will pick up on that.

I try not to think of anything. Otherwise I'll think of things that will screw me up, or I'll be trying to think about ways of not screwing up, which will screw me up. Mind must be calm and still, like placid water.
