I've applied some stoicism to improve my approach anxiety. Its a simular principle that has been written on here before, but in different words. I've shifted my goals from things I can't control to things I can control. I can't control if the girl with blow me off, but I can control if I approach. I can't control if a girl will sleep with me, but I can give myself a better shot by having solid game. I can't control a girls interpretation of my actions but I can be honest with my desire and take a shot.
