Hello Everybody,

My world was rocked today as I listened to The Game while I was driving all day for work. I have felt something that I haven't felt in a long time and that was confidence. Listening to Neil read his book gave me hope that I needed to make some serious changes in my life. The stories he told blew my mind and it made my drive from PA to MD back seem like a blur. By the time I realized I where I was, I was already back in PA. I have never experienced anything like that before and I am hooked.

I have struggled with girls for as long as I can remember. I am a 23 year old guy with the confidante of a 6 year old. I have struggled with depression/bipolar (at least that's what I am told) for almost a decade now. Today made me realize something. I don't think I'm depressed. I think I'm deprived of human interaction. I am frustrated. When I am around people, I get so frustrated that I can't talk and puts me on the verge of a panic attack. I have been going to therapy for the past 9 years with no avail. I am literally on medication for being frustrated lol. I love my parents but they are not social people. My mom is about as passive as a snail and still treats me like I'm 6. My dad has done a lot of fucked up shit to me and needs a half a bottle of vodka just to make eye contact with me. I have a girlfriend who is even more insecure then me who starts to cry with even the slightest criticism. My friends aren't much better. They drink or snort there way to confidence and I'm no rock star. I have come to the realization that I need help. I need YOUR guys help.

Now that last paragraph was depressing but true. I did not come here to have my ego stroked. I came here to learn and learn from the best. Hell, it's not all doom and gloom for me. I am actually a really attractive guy. I would rate myself at a solid 8. 190 pounds (and losing) with over 40% muscle weight. Two weeks ago, me and my friend went out and I was approached by 8 separate girls in one night. Now I was shaking like blender but that still happened. I have even had a (devils) three way once. I work at a car dealership where I work my own hours and drive expensive sports cars around all day. I am also smart. I am about to finish up my associates in computer science and transfer into a good college. I live with my mom in a really nice house. See, not all doom and gloom.

Honestly, I am here not sleep with as many chicks as I can (but I'm not complaining if that happens). I am here to get my confidence and break out of my shell. Not until I got out of the car after listening did to The Game did I realize having that much confidence was even possible. I can't get it out of my mind.

I am going out to Hawaii for over two weeks in December. I really want to have some game before I head out and this seems like the place to help me. I want to thank you for reading my post and I hope to hear from you guys.

Not much to say other than congrats on the epiphany.

The thing about an epiphany is that it feels great until a small issue cuts you down to 0 again. And thats what tends to happen. So thats great that you found your mission, just dont be discouraged by some road blocks along the way.

Prior to Hawaii I would do a few things:

- Revamp your look (hair, clothes etc.). This will give you an added boost of confidence just by proxy of changing things up.
- Meet/hang out with people. The more you interact with people, the more comfortable you'll be around them. Look at going to Hawaii as a permanent move and meet people accordingly. If shit hits the fan, you get to escape for two weeks anyways right?

Basically, start changing things up in life and evolve. The feeling of change will spark a feeling of accomplishment, thus providing a little more confidence as you gear up to be a new person in Hawaii where nobody can judge you.

Most of all have fun!

Welcome man
Good job on taking the steps to a better lifestyle.
