hello all, i'm still somewhat new to this enthrawling way of life. i read the game 2 years ago and it really blew open my mind. the one major concern i have is that the person you were before studying a topic like this is still embedded deep in me somewhere. i often walk around with horrible body language. I always run over it in my head, i check to ensure my head is held high, my hands aren't crossed or anything and when i talk that i will have to speak loudly and slowly. yet as soon as i lose focus with this train of thought ie. when someone wants to talk to me or something to draw my attention i return to the floor looking, arms folded quiet boy again. basically the only way to describe it is my whole body feels uncomfortable in my own skin and i fidget and shake and move to fight this feeling. (really bad Approach Anxiety me thinks!) this gives off a terrible first impression and you only make them once. i'm really conscious of this and because of that it severely hampers with my game, i lose all confidence and just blank as if i have nothing to say. This is horrible because after my first few lines which could be harmless chit-chat, i just blank and the conversation becomes awkward and stale very quickly. i need a way to be confident in all the social areas of my life to improve my game so if anyone out there has any tips to truly become the alpha dog then please share them here!
