For the past year I've essentially been in monk mode, and I've went from 5-11 145 @ 10% to 6-1 185 @ 14%. I'm way more confident in conversations with girls and have gotten way better at teasing them and not being a people pleaser. Despite this I'm incredibly afraid of rejection and I don't feel that I'm worthy of escalating with girls, some of whom would have been receptive if I wasn't too afraid to escalate. How do I solve this problem? For context I'm currently 16 and a junior in high school.
