So for some contextual information: my friends and I really like to talk philosophically when we're together, especially if we are under the influence.

Anyways, earlier tonight we were together drinking, and the topic of religion came up. A friend of mine brought the concept of Pascal's Wager. This theory, to put it shortly, explains that man should believe in God because there is a finite risk, and an infinite reward. The potential loss of believing in God is so low while the potential gain is so high, so why not just believe?

After analyzing this concept for some time, I eventually realized that it could be applied to the topic of seduction. Despite being only 20, all throughout my life, especially in my teen years, I have lived reserved. I'm introverted in a sense. I like social interaction, but struggle to initiate it or maintain it. I like to party, but struggle with actually partying. I want to approach girls, but struggle doing so. I have strong approach anxiety.

This leads me to a second point that will intertwine with the first point that I have yet to reach. I regret many of my decisions, and I constantly dwell on the past. This is very unhealthy, but it's who I am. With that being said, I know there are many other people out there like me. I regret not talking to girls more often. I have had one legit girlfriend. I have slept with one girl. I regret not getting out there more. I have little friends. I regret not making more friends. I don't go to my dream university. I regret not trying harder in high school. Despite these constant regrets, I realize the importance of not dwelling on them because THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT CHANGE MY OUTLOOK AND ADAPT MY LIFE SO THAT I CAN STOP HAVING REGRETS.

That's where Pascal's Wager comes in. THERE IS MINIMAL RISK, IF EVEN THAT, IN TALKING TO GIRLS AND PUTTING YOURSELF OUT THERE. TALK TO GIRLS, BECAUSE THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS ARE INFINITE! THE RISK IS NONEXISTENT.

I have tonight made a decision. I will change my life. I will be the man that I really want to be. I will live the life the way I want to live. Only then can I stop having these regrets constantly popping into my brain. I change after tonight. This concept is not difficult to understand. It's pretty much the main rule that you sedditors live by, just expanded ever so slightly. These principals have never spoken to me this way until today.

Maybe all of this sounds like bullshit, or maybe it just sounds stupid, but I had an epiphany and thought that maybe I could reach out to some of you. Thanks for the read, guys!
