I'm usually comfortable interacting with attractive women for the most part. My question is not about them today.

It's about the "others" in social circles.

If I shoot my shot on a female within the social circle, and I fail, I feel like there's going to be tremendous judgement passed on me, and even shaming from everyone.

Perhaps that comes from my old mindset, where I felt like I wasn't worthy of having high SMV women in my life.

Like if I shoot my shot on an girl in the social circle, and I fail. Then automatically I'll get labeled by her friends who she'll obviously mention it to.

What do you guys make of this?
