Does meditation make you act less anxious

Idk if meditation helps with approaching women. I think approaching women helps with approaching women. I used to shit my pants in my teenage years because I would only ask out a girl I knew for certain liked me. Now I ask out any girl I feel like. I've gotten rejected before but it honestly doesn't feel as bad as you think. You either forget about it completely the next day or feel brave for trying.

I'd say just man up and approach girls until you feel more comfortable with it. But still practice meditation and stoicism cause those are good things to know of either way

It fixed my anxiety for sure

Yes, mainly due to less outcome dependence. However as someone who's been meditating for a year or so I can't stress the importance of going into it without expectations. After a few months I was pissed that I still got nervous or screwed up around girls but its a lot bigger than that. It helps in terms of acceptance. You will have to apprach girls and simple use meditation as an accessory to your life. You will still get nervous, still strike out etc but will probably dwell on it a lot less. That has been my experience.

When you're in a strange setting where there is potential danger, real of imaginary, you'll never feel as relaxed as you are at home, nor should you be. That said, meditation will help, sure, but it's counter productive to start meditating for the sake of getting laid. Meditation is a vast topic, a umbrella term for a myriad of mental and spiritual practices. You need to pick one that resonates with you beyond satiating your horniness.

Also, if you engage in tense or potentially dangerous practices in a semi constant manner, you'll feel much more relaxed in general when outside, given that your mental health is in check. Back when I spent a year working in a trauma center and training boxing in a bad neighborhood, I was cool as a cucumber in the outisde. It gives you confidence that overflows into other areas in your life. A "cool club" with IG models will seem like disneyland afterwards.

Meditation can help you maintain your emotions. You’ll feel more content in general. You do HAVE to have roughly a 10 day streak going before you really start noticing the benefits. 10-15 mins a day for the rest of your life.

Meditation is great. I'm doing it right now as a matter of fact. I listening to calm music.

You mentioned being in your head. I've learned that being in your head is extremely detrimental to your game. You have to be in the Now. I watched this video. WATCH THE WHOLE THING and do the exercises in the video. It helped me be more spontaneous while on the spot.

Also, practice makes perfect so keep approaching those 9s. You're doing great!

Meditation done correctly will allow you to come to the understanding approaching women and women in general are worthless pursuits

Yep. It helps you get out of your head.
