I have always had confidence issues. I've always been afraid to approach. I've always been afraid to flirt, compliment, or escalate anything.

Now, I'm going to admit that I'm still pretty new at this. I'm still not to that point that I can read a woman perfectly. However, I can tell you all that I'm not bothered when things don't work out. I'm fine with leaving when a girl stops showing interest.

I used to get really bad one-itis. Really bad! This is the first few months that I haven't cared at all if I'm rejected or if nothing happens between a girl and me. I couldn't have done that without this subreddit. I just have to thank you guys. I'm much braver and doing better at my job because of this subreddit as well. If anything has so drastically changed my life in the past year, it is getting attached to this community.

I just want to say that because this community is helping me as much with life as it is women.
