i feel i'm slowly turning a corner, nowhere near pua standards, still a solid afc. but i am at least aware of what's going on around me, and tho i have no original "do's", i do have a "don't" that i have been very guilty of in the past.

one of the ways i took comfort in my pathetic loneliness was the knowledge that my friends were socially just as inept. and i [subconsciously] made sure it stayed that way, crashing their sets, public put downs, outrageous immaturity, and scathing ridicule upon their inevitable rejection. it got to the point where some friendship were lost as each night out ended in regrets and arguments. it wasn't til we started doing our own thing individually [plus i found seddit] did i even realise the damage i was causing.

so yeah, any newbies, be aware of crab mentality. remember you're brothers to the end, a strong wingman is an invaluable tool. i drove mine away, but now i'm very happy to have him back and we are now on the same wavelength.
