Texted my mate telling him I want to get back into game, we meet up and chill at the food court. He asks why aren’t you approaching? Then He tells me “I knew this would happen”, feeling of guilt rushed through me.

He says “im gonna go for a smoke when I come back wanna see an approach”. As he leaves I scan the area, I notice a 5/10 at best, not my type.

Regardless, i find a sticking point (thought her jacket was rather stylish) and ask if I could sit by her. I open on the most awkward way, speaking pretty fast but she caught what I was saying. I gave her the compliment on her jacket and asked if she was studying, she then told me she had a boyfriend I panicked said oh okay, well enjoy the rest of the day and sort of dashed off.

I feel like I should have handled that a lot differently sort of shrugged it off but I was really panicking and my anxiety was kicking in .

I’m just really glad I approached man even though had a panic attack, I felt the fear of the social repercussions fade away ever so slightly..
