Decided not to smoke last night at a party (as I usually do), couldn’t tell if it was my newfound confidence and awareness, or the fact that I didn’t smoke, but everything was amazing. I was kino’ing pretty much everyone with good responses. I flirted with and push/pulled a bunch of girls. Girls I’d never bothered to initiate convo with, I was, and they were engaged, asking questions, making eye contact, laughing. I had entire groups of girls laughing, complimenting me. Everyone stopped when I spoke. It was amazing.

I just wanted to say, thank you guys. Before a few months ago, I was the type to get talked over in a conversation and sort of disappear into the background.

Now, I was socializing with everybody, making strong eye contact with everyone I talked to, I stood up straight up open body language and just said whatever was on my mind with gall, and everybody was receptive to it because I said it in a confident and assertive way.
