Nah, when it comes to social shit like that, you just have not give a fuck what people think about you anymore, because honestly, they probably fucking aren’t. You’d have to be pretty egotistical to think so, and if you were, you’d probably be one of those douche bags that bothers girls who don’t want to talk to them.

Or you could do the super smart cheat code way and eat waaay too many mushrooms one night thinking you can handle it, then get your ego absolutely fucking annihilated, realize you are actually one with the entirety of the universe and therefore actually just one with the girl you wanna talk to as all things are intrinsically entwined and you’ve finally achieved total absolute understanding of life and existence itself and hope you can explain it to her after it wears off with that same clarity without using the words “I’m literally inside you”.

Or so I hear…

There is a difference between confidence/self love and egoism.

You had me at first but lost me at the end. Social anxiety and low self confidence is the opposite of egotistic

Absolutely not, but one can recognize the others disinterest and be ok with that and one won’t stop to think you couldn’t possibly not be interested in them, or care really care wether you are or not because you should be. The latter obviously Clint the douche.

A well written resume, a firm handshake, and a willingness to knock on doors is the key to success.

Have you tried being blackout drunk?

That’s what did it for me

Does profusely apologizing for puking on their dress count as conversation?

If yes then I’ll have you know I’m quite the socializer.

Well it’s a start isn’t it?

Just do a little better next time and the next time and the next time.

You can improve at being black out drunk?

But what if the next time is in 8 years, and then the next ones after that are 5 and 13 years apart? Won’t be much improvement then, and it’ll be 26 years later and you’ll be pushing 60.

Me too, I woke up with 2 or 3 phone numbers in my pocket. I texted one of them and was greeted by an angry boyfriend, I either didn’t text the others or they didn’t reply, but it boosted my confidence a lot. So much so that I was able to talk to girls before I blacked out
