Getting rid of brain fog in social situations

God... this same thing happens to me. You get flustered and anxiety ensues and you just go blank... I wish I knew how to fix this. Happens especially when I am nervous around women.

Sounds like you need to rest and relax more before social situations. If you have a planned social event, take some time out to get in the mood. Have a shower, listen to some music, dance, think of it as warming up your mind like you’d warm up your body prior to exercise.

I used to think of myself this way too. It took a lot of therapy, self-realisation and really a long process of lifting, cutting my addictions and overall learning to be socio-sexually competent more.

The root of the problem is, you're not an NPC. You're the main Hero. You're the goddamn prize.

Do you watch a lot of porn? It could be that

Your issues is called social anxiety.

Meditation, exercise, actively trying to socialize, proper nutrition and virtually all the self developement TRP recommends help with that ( it is exactly what medicine recommends outside medication).

Why do you think your brain goes foggy?

No masturbation!

It's because You are at the effect and not the cause in the interaction: Reacting to everything the other people are doing & saying.

You need to become more self-possessed. Watch RSDTyler's Blueprint Decoded: Buy or torrent.

Also, for right now, this will help a lot if you get it down:

You're 14, your body and brain development is going to be all over the place, so right now it's just going to be a "tough, you're stuck like that for 2 or 3 more years and that's normal."
But on the off chance it is not, there's a few things you can try:
A) Sleep is important, but "just 8 hours of sleep" is not good enough. You're a teen so I'm guessing you're staying up late gaming or watching shows. You need QUALITY 8 hours of sleep. Limit your screentime at night so your body can produce melatonin at a reasonable amount. Maybe go invest in some supplements for melatonin.
B) On the side of supplements: you're young so you shouldn't experiment with too many supplements except the common ones such as fish oil, melatonin, and creatine. But, in the future, WHEN YOU'RE OLDER, you should head on over to the nootropics subreddit. A few things there really cut through that fog like a hot knife on butter.
C) Lift, nough said.
D) Just to reiterate, you're young you'll hopefully grow out of it, but as soon as you're old enough to be able to start making appointments for medical professionals, give them a holler. I've always had a bit of brain fog even while little and when I got my blood drawn and tested, my estrodial score was through the roof. (Good) Doctors are your friend. Use them.

Considering youve been doing nofap and living a healthy lifestyle, Id say it comes down to a lack of self-confidence.

Start winning in life, whether is achieving the body you want or getting your masters in a specific field, the more you accomplish your goals, it will internalize into your actions so you wont clinch up in social situations. Also force yourself into uncomfortable situations, become comfortable with the uncomfortable

Take some deep breaths and connect with the sensations of your body
