I guess what I'm wondering most is how have your behaviors changed. You said you couldn't approach anyone you wanted and you were really shy. So I'm curious how you acted around people then as opposed to now? And how people acted around you. And of course around women, especially beautiful women.
Also from your post, "I find I've always intimidated people, and this was true from being about 10 through to stage 4 or 5 of the Alpha set, now it seams people are much more at ease around me. Probably because I wasn't fully at ease with myself and they picked up on that"
I too experience the same thing. In fact, I was that way before I started self-improvement as well. People always wanted to talk to me and seemed to think I was a pretty cool guy but they were always intimidated. I never knew if it was because I was shy and quiet or maybe because I was nervous they also picked up on my nervous energy. Though I still never understood because these same guys weren't the same around other quiet/shy guys, especially those they looked down on. But now, since I've started self-improvement and at times with my confidence, still people seemed intimidated even when I was more outgoing. That's one thing that I noticed as well, it was because I wasn't at ease with myself and they picked up on it. I found that when I was extremely comfortable people were always at ease around me, especially when I was drunk or high, people opened up to me instantly.
To go off that, how do betas and shy people especially, respond to you now?
