I use to use phenibut daily for extra social confidence and disregard for consequence.

Im off it now for almost a year and working on myself. I dont think I am that unattractive, and Ive had sex a good handful of times in my life.

But a lot of those times were circumstances, with some exceptions of making moves on those i got familiar with.

But making cold approach in waking life is hard because I just dont know how to say things or even what to say. I know how Id like to do it. I want to be as direct as possible and get numbers. But when I see a woman I dont do anything because in that moment Im suddenly doubting my ability to vocalize without being a creep. I know practice is what makes it happen but I dont really have the grounds to practice right now.

I managed to approach and ask a girl for her snap but we havent talked much on it. I have it just for logistics. I felt good about that win though.

Any tips that might mentally keep me in the right frame to make approaches?
