Try to get publicly humiliated at least once a day, lol. It'll keep you sharp.

I don't think that is such a good idea, doing stuff like that too much could have the opposite effect and doesn't really help confidence in the long run.

Though I did used to do some pretty mental stuff. It was fun and I would feel good for a while, but it didn't really build my core confidence as there was alot of negative stuff stopping me.

I found that doing something mental was easier than just being 'normal' you could say, because it wasn't really like I was expressing own self.

Like approaching girls, I could go and say mental and weird stuff but it was way harder to go and be normal and just express interest.

I agree. Repeated and intentional public humiliation for someone who is already sensitive to criticism (perfectionists) is a bad idea. Bad programming too.
