This a reminder to you: Reddit is not reality.

What I mean by that: Reddit users is a classification amongst the entire population. Reddit users are more likely to have anxiety, be socially awkward, not like talking in real life(hence online forums), and overall are more antisocial than the general population. This is not a rule, but merely an average. There are people on Reddit who are extremely socially outgoing. However, the average level of social awkwardness among Reddit users is higher than an average of random people on the street.

How this applies to your game: If you see posts about “oh don’t go and talk to people” or “you’ll be creepy” please remember: Reddit IS NOT Reality. People on the internet can say anything. Some use it as a stress relief from daily life and are more cynical, snarky, or mean online because they can get away with it. Your job is to block out this noise and focus on whats taught constantly: APPROACH GIRLS & START CONVERSATIONS.

If you mess up an approach who cares? Do you remember every single one of your coworkers from 10 years ago? Do you remember the last cashier you checked out from? Probably not. She will forget you. Life will move on. But most importantly, you will improve.
