It's not exactly approach anxiety. It's more like generalized social anxiety. I've pretty much got anxiety interacting with people in general. If I'm being completely honest I'd say my anxiety is about 7/10. I've come a long way, but it still bothers me a lot. The problem is it's one of those things that I grew up with and I'm sure a lot of others did too. It's hard to get perspective on because it's all I've known. But Shannon's subliminals have been helping out a lot. Mostly just helping me push past the anxiety even if I can't rid myself of it completely at the moment.
I've never been too focused on aesthetics. I'm 6 foot and 160lbs, I've got a decent build, nothing to brag about though. I used to be obsessed with packing on more muscle, but lately I just focus on strength and whatever gains come with that I'm good with. But yeah I completely agree with you that girls appreciate a good physique. Looking good can boost your confidence quite a bit. But keep in mind some girls like chubbier guys, skinnier guys, shorter guys, etc. Girls are just as diverse in their taste as men.
Congrats on the success with the ASC sub. That subliminal is incredibly powerful. I'm glad things are working out for you. My favorite part of these subliminals is when you are smooth or confident without even trying. Best feeling in the world. You sound like you know what you're doing, keep it up!
Thanks brother, I did my homework on body language leepy:
If you havent already, you should, since human communication consists of 93 percent body language and paralinguistic cues and only around 7 with words. Some say its 60-70 not 93 but still most of it.
I guess i just like them fit girls.
And most of them at the gym love muscle so basically im doing what i love most and attracting my kind of girls, win win lol
Have you done Asc or any confidence subs? Sorry if you did AM maybe or something, its just ive been reading every single log for fun and i forget who did what sub lol.
If you did do AM or any other confidence sub, did they help your anxiety?
Im going to do Overcome Approach Anxiety sub after asc.
Shannon pointed me to that direction because one of my weakest points is i dont know how to banter for too long, never found it to be enjoyable or useful, but it is useful for building rapport and the sub should help.
Ever thought of trying that one out? The script is HUGE, it should make you enjoy talking and starting conversations easy, Shannon even added the whole OFGS album to it
Yeah body language is pretty important for understanding cues. But I used to study that stuff, it just got me caught up in my head more. Here's my theory anyway. All those body language studying tips are valuable, but they miss the point. Body language is usually the result of subconscious thoughts or feelings, that means that these things will also register in your own subconscious mind when you see them from someone else. An example would be walking by a shady character, maybe you feel uneasy but you can't put your finger on why. That's just your subconscious reading him and giving you feedback on a deeper level. I think guys actually need to be less in their heads and more in tune with their gut feelings when it comes to interactions. But that could be because I'm more of a "feeler". Whereas some guys may be more visual. It's all about understanding how you operate and going from there. I think doubt is something that can screw with that intuitive feeling. To me a natural with women is someone that trusts their impulses and has the confidence to take action on them. But I always just say use what works for you, everyone is different.
Definitely a win win. But remember that looks are only so much. You may think these are your types of girls, but they could be hiding something underneath that beautiful exterior. Of course you probably know all about that.
I'll list what subs I've done. I've done disconnect from negativity within 3G, remove negativity within 4G, ASC 4G, ASC 5G, Alpha male 2011 twice, Overcome fear for about 2 months, and now I'm listening to overcome guilt shame and fear which has been about 3 months? I think, not too sure. All of these things combined have helped me grow as a person, not just the anxiety. But yeah, the anxiety was helped a lot from these subs. I think some people who use these subs see them as a bonus or addition to their life. I can honestly say I needed them. Without any of these I really don't know where I would be. Despite still feeling like I'm dealing with these problems, it's a lot better than how I used to be. It's slow and gradual change, but it's there. I don't want to say that I'm different than everyone else, but I've got a lot of stuff that needs to be worked out.
Never really considered the approach anxiety sub. Seems interesting, but women are the furthest thing from my mind right now haha. I'll keep it in my mind.
