These past few days I've been really anxious about appearing confident. But I realized that even if I appear confident it's pointless if it's just a facade. So when it comes to meeting people and interaction I'm better off not trying to manipulate my image in order to get a favorable outcome from people. On top of that I have to stop automatically assuming if I'm myself I'll immediately be rejected. It's almost like I prepare myself for the worst so it doesn't sting as much if it comes. But by doing so I cloud my mind with all these negative thoughts about myself.
So far DMSI has been projecting a confident image of myself to people, but I still screw up a bit when things are closer. I don't know how to describe it, but especially women. There's this expectation I put on myself to maintain that cool confident demeanor, but it's not solidified and it wavers which causes me to get too damn anxious about it.
