· Not talking to women you find attractive is a self-harming act that will accumulate in feelings of worthlessness ·

Women are more than simple biological organisms - they are objects that reflect back the unique feelings that each man projects onto them. We can reduce those projected feelings down to this: my worth (the feeling that allows me to love life) is heavily wrapped up in women. Blame society, blame whatever, this is usually the truth.

Sure, you go a few times, here and there, not approaching a woman you like. Fine. Normal. But then it adds up: slowly, over time. You are sending a message to yourself that you are worthless. The human mind does not rely on words - if it did - every piece of advice would work and we would all have perfect lives.

If you are able to put yourself into the position that it isn't always about getting laid - but that it's more about doing things that signal worth to yourself - then I believe you will have a more relaxed and fun time talking to girls.

The woman isn't a woman. She is everything you unconsciously and consciously make her represent. Don´t view her as the thing you need to satisfy a need or to finally! make! your! life! perfect! See her as what she represents - a thing to go after , that no matter the result, will bring feelings of worth to you.

self-harm is a wide spectrum with suicide at the very, very end. if you go your whole life without ever really talking to a girl you actually like, is that suicide?
