Recently out of an ltr and thinking of going monk mode for a bit because I feel like every time I talk to a girl I get sucked into the feelings of validation I get from a pretty girl giving me the time of day. Any time I’m out or at the gym I’m checking to see if women notice me or are around.

This has also made it a lot harder to approach because I get anxious as I place so much weight on women’s thoughts about me and kills my confidence. This is something I’ve been struggling with although I’m in shape, have a great internship (still in college) , make a lot of money and dress well.
