In this video, I'm going to share with you exactly how I overcame my social anxiety, and I'm gonna do it by sharing with you a personal story. About four years ago, I was the guy who was incredibly awkward around girls.
I remember I would always see these guys who seemed to be so naturally good with girls, and I really didn't understand what they were doing that was so different from what I was doing. I didn't know what to say, how to say it, I didn't understand how to flirt, or even what flirting was.
Whenever I saw a girl that I liked, I had this confused feeling right in my stomach where I just didn't know what to do. About halfway through university, I started to watch people like Elliott Hulse, and I also started to read some self-help books.
And doing this exposed me to some very interesting ideas. The most interesting idea that I was exposed to was a very simple one, and it was you have the power to change things in your life.
So I sat down at my desk, and I said out loud I am not happy with my dating life. And then right after that, I said out loud, but I can change this if I want to, and I recommend you do the same thing.
Also around this time, YouTube pranks were very popular, and I would see these YouTubers go up and approach girls during the day, and they would say all these crazy things, and no matter what they said, it always seemed like they were able to attract the girl. So after I watched about 10 or 20 of these videos, I decided in that moment that I wanted to learn how to be that confident.
So at this time, there was no way I was gonna be able to approach a beautiful girl during the day. I had to start off with something much, much, much smaller.
So instead, was I would go out on the street, and I simply would ask people hey, what time is it? And they would reply it's 10 a. m. , and I would say thank you.
And believe it or not, at first this was a little bit difficult for me, which is honestly kind of depressing to admit, but it's the truth. And I did this until I became 100% comfortable doing it.
And then after that, I would ask them how's your day going? And then I would make more and more small talk.
