its been 3 years since ive felt like this, i feel fucking confident again and no longer second guess everything i do, wondering if im creepy or not. its making me realize i couldve done this the whole time, but my own insecurities have held me back
ive lost 5 pounds since this remotivated me and now im excited to be back to where i was
i just wanted to share, because i know there are some of you who were in the dark place i was at. i just hope this inspires you to stop holding yourself back and have the confidence to do what you want
Gtfo you dirty normie faggot

do you think a person never changes
i spent a year as a robot, refusing to talk to girls and withdrawing within myself because i knew i would be ridiculed
then i came out of my shell again to a great positive response
you can have that too if you come out of your shell

what does it feel like to have your cock inside a womens rectum
>>27007802
nice meme normalcunt, you're not fooling anybody
>>27007840
the same as a vagina except its way tighter on the entrance and you have to use a lot of lube
i generally dont like wearing condoms tho, and assholes are too disgusting to go raw. so i prefer vagina when shes on the pill

Thanks OP! Im happy to hear you're feeling more confident! What are some ways I can put myself out there more? Im always at a loss with what to say to people. I dont know how to be a better conversationalist. Ive tried just talking about whatever comes to mind but I always say something wrong or otherwise embarass myself

i have to talk to people all day because i do sales. there is a part of the sales process where we have to sit and do nothing for roughly 10-15 minutes while we wait for a 3rd party to respond. whether i close the deal or not usually depends on how well i can befriend the client in that time, so ive gotten a lot better at small talk and conversations
the key is to just ask open ended questions "what did you do last weekend"
"got any plans for the weekend?"
"so what do you do?"->"do you like it? whats it like?"
etc.
then whatever they say, you just act really interested and try to find a way to relate to it. if they tell you they went to eat, you ask them about the restaurant because you love trying new foods. if they tell you they stayed home and watched movies, you ask them what show and lead it into asking what their favorite show is
the best advice i can give, is just to have a positive attitude where you think everything is cool and great, and never be judgmental towards anyone
if your issue is with being confident enough to break the silence, just remember that the longer you wait, the harder/more awkward it is. if you sit next to a girl at a bus stop and start talking as soon as you sit, it is less awkward than if you sit silently for 15 minutes and then start trying to talk.

anytime buddy anything else for you?

Good for you OP, I had something similar. I've done the complete opposite. My life has been improving big time. Even started seeing a cute ass blonde I met in class. Then I decided to message my ex on facebook and we ended up talking on the phone. Went full beta and got feelings back for my ex like a beta. Just something about her voice.
Before anyone calls me normie, I'm just lucky. I did nothing to get either of these girls.
