Hey guys. When you don't masterbaite you have more confidence to do more things and socialize more I noticed. I have kind of experienced this because when I was walking back from work I said hi to more people as they walked by and they said hi back. Before when i walked home sometimes I would say hi but in a lower and quieter voice and they wouldn't hear me.
There's probably some truth to it. When I was on my ten-day streak in September, I began to feel more confident and less self-conscious. How people react to you, however, is another matter entirely.
I can relate. I'm 5 days in and I feeling a bit more confident, self-conscious and more aware. Today in class my teacher asked for some to explain something to the class and I volunteered. After I explained, I even noticed a friend (a girl) of mine smiling at me
