What's up, Seddit?

Just wanted to share a quick story that happened tonight...

A little background: I was married for four years, then went thru a divorce. This completely shot my confidence to hell. I've had absolutely no game since then and I've hated who I am.

Over this last winter I've been doing a lot of study on inner game for the purpose of simply making myself into the person I've always imagined I'd like myself to be. I've been lurking seddit for a while now, and after not having gone out and socialized for almost a year, i've started started forcing myself to get out more and just practice getting my confidence up, chatting up people around me, and generally just practice being in an alpha mentality. I'm also happy to say I'm finally at a point again where I like myself again.

Tonight an old friend of mine was in town and wanted to get some drinks and catch up. So I arrived at the bar a half our early just to get into my alpha state and observe the interactions going on around me.

I walked into the bar feeling alpha as fuck. I looked everyone in the eye until they broke eye contact. I greeted everyone who made eye contact with me. How you doing tonight? What's up, man? My posture was impeccable, and I walked into that bar feeling like I fucking owned the place.

I sat down at the bar, ordered a drink at chatted up the bartender a bit. I introduced myself to the guy on my right. I had a calm, confident, intensity that I had completely forgotten was a part of me. I was about to turn and introduce myself to the guy on my left, but he beat me to it.

"Man, you remind me of an Olympian." "Oh yeah? What do you mean?" I asked. "I don't know. You just walk in here and for some reason I feel like I'm a notch lower. You're like an Olympian."

The dude wasn't hitting on me or anything. He was being genuine. I told him I was just being myself and having fun. We made a little more small talk, and eventually his friend came out of the bathroom and they left.

My friend showed up and we had a great time catching up.

Nothing else really happened that night. I didn't have any epic closes or anything. But that interaction really stuck with me.

It registers. When you're just having fun and not giving a fuck about anything, people pick up on that. Including the guys around you.

And it's little things like that which really help to skyrocket your confidence back to a good level. :)

I'm taking baby steps, but I know I'm making progress.

tl;dr: I'm a goddamn olympian.
