Hi, I'm 18 year old. I got into pickup about 1 year ago, haven't made too much approaches and I'm kinda anxious to take it to next step with girls. I've read some stuff and improved my posture and self confidence a bit. I can be honest and say that I've never really made out with a girl or had a girlfriend. That's kinda why I got into pua. I've been shy growing up, but I'm getting a lot less shyer and doing things outside of my comfort zone nowadays. I feel that I'm very good socially in smaller groups, but in bigger groups I'm getting a little bit anxious, especially if there is other "popular" guys in the group that I'm not really friend with. when they take space I feel anxious myself to take space and talk more. I know it's weird, if there aren't any of those people around I talk with women very confident. When I get in state I get super social and girls are looking at me and are attracted. It's just that sometimes I'm really quiet and I feel that I want to be able to be in that "state" mood all the time, because then all the fear disappears and I'm happy + I get higher social value.

My goal is to be better at natural game as I think most of my problems is because of my inner game. I also feel like that approach is more honest and sustainable.

On my freetime I skateboard a lot and I'm good at it. Skates in contests and stuff. You can think that I'll get all the girls from that but I don't really know how to handle it when people get impressed by stuff I'm good at.

hope this forum can help me reach my goals and I hope that I might be able to help out other people here.

You seem like a real cool dude.

Welcome to the forum my broth.
You're fortunate - I didn't find out there was even such a thing as 'state' until i was older than you.
