Do you really want to let your life be controlled by what women like? In fact women love men who know what they want and what they like and who are not affected by what other people think about them.
@GoAway , right but I might not want to talk about the flight simulator stuff right away. It's a masculine hobby and I'd like to find some common ground first. In due time, I can share my flight simulator hobby with her.
hang in there jarvyjarvison just stay focus on your goals and yourself, and women will come to you; also just saying hi to a female and smiling helps with the social anxiety with women.
I suffer from a severe mental illness: Schizoaffective Disorder, Bi-polar Type. Yeah you're right. I'm working on it. It's going to take time. I've got lots of time so that's an advantage. I've been talking to women and stuff but I still find it hard to say hi to women I'd like to meet. It's okay though, not everybody meets women that way. I can meet women through friends and friends of friends. I don't have to be an Alpha Male. I'm happy just being myself. This nofap stuff is hard. I'm obstaining from porn, masturbation, orgasm, AND p-subs (porn substitutes). It gets tough sometimes - especially on nights I can't sleep. But I think it's worth it. I'm seeing some real improvements in my interactions with women. When I wrote this post you guys I was going through some stuff :-(. I felt desperate and needy. I'm glad I got it off my chest. You guys gave me some good advice and encouragement. I've got a monumental task in front of me. But, as they say, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
