Hey reddit, I have been flipping through here and hoped to receive some advice as i feel its time for me to take some, in the area of seduction or "game" if you will as a highlight, but with increased social skill and comfortability in general as my end goal.

I'm an 8.5/10 who has relied on his looks far too heavily in the past, and seem to have lost any charm or natural attractiveness I had a few years ago. I am by nature very social and outgoing, but have slipped into a state of nervous anxiousness and self consciousness that always lingered in my mannerisms and behaviour in the past but seem to be coming to the forefront of my personality now. It has affected my ability to get laid, to approach women, hell, to interact with people, period - men and women. I do everything I'm supposed to - I ask questions of people, I take an interest, I listen carefully and let my eyes do the talking as a suave man does - but when it comes to actually projecting myself and conversing with women in particular, I find myself like a black hole. I have lost the humour and quick wit that used to propel most of my interactions, and I can't pinpoint when or how that happened.

Has anyone ever felt like this before? I am used to be the sort of man that women are drawn to, and its like I have no effect on them whatsoever. I'd be happy to hear any advice the wise internet has. Thanks!
