Hi Seddit,

This is my first post, might be kind of long. So a little bit about myself. I'm in my mid twenties. Never had a gf. Virgin and a loser. I discovered Seddit probably a year or two back. Been lurking until today. My career is okay. I think I'm pretty attractive, and I am improving my life one step at a time. After graduating college, I started working. I was not really active in college, so it hit me when I got into the real world. I have the worst approach and social anxiety in the world. I would start shaking when talking to a random person. Almost have a heart attack every time I spoke to anyone even if it's a guy over the counter I order from. Because of my social anxiety, I was not able to rack up too many friends, so I do not have too high of a social status.

Anyways, yesterday, I kinda stepped out of my comfort zone. I am in my second job, and I went out with my co-workers/friends from my first job. We would always go out to do stuff, and I would always feel more confident with them/friends around. So we went to eat yesterday and watch a movie. My co-friends (co-worker+friends) would always push me to talk to girls (which is great), but I would always freeze and almost die. The feeling in my stomach would feel like shit about to explode and gush out everywhere.

So my co-friends and I went to eat. I started opening up little by little as practicing. The waitress was kinda cute, so I would just ask her about the menu and stuff and try to keep her talking (I normally don't do this). Nothing special really. My co-friends try to get me to ask for her number when she said, "Is there anything else I can help you with," and I would respond, "how about your number?" or something like that, but of course, I pussied out. My body would feel numb just thinking about saying that lol.

After eating, it was already 8 something, and we were about to watch a movie. The place was pretty empty because it was a Tues night, so we started walking to the theater area. That's when I saw this cutie. She was probably Korean or something. My co-friends were on the escalator, and I was following. This girl was probably 10 escalator steps behind me, and I really wanted to talk to her, but, again, I pussied out. So the ticket booth was on the bottom floor, and we were already heading up without our tickets. My co-friends realized this, and as we got to the top, we started heading back down. That was when my friend notion me to talk to that Korean girl 10 steps behind me. Since we were heading down, she was still on the escalator heading up, so we would meet in the middleish. As we met when the escalators got to the same point, I didn't think, waved and said, "Hey, you're really cute." She was looking at her phone and completely ignored me. After that, I kind of just brushed it off. There weren't many people, and I was just having fun and not caring.

After that, my friend talk about how that was really catcallingish, and I completely agreed. I didn't talk to her or got to know her. I pretty much just catcalled her. So after we got our tickets, we went up to the theater to get ready for the movie, and I saw that cute girl again, sitting by herself, but since she pretty much ignored me, I didn't want to approach again. I later see her meet up with a guy and enter the movie theater.

Anyways, I am still happy that I said something rather than not saying anything at all even though I accidentally catcalled her. Moral: don't just catcall, engage!

TL:DR. wanted to step out of comfort zone. Did it by pussying out and catcalling. TIFU. wanted to talk to a girl, catcalled her instead.

Excuse my poor writing/grammar/format/rant.

Sincerely, Kinda_Love_Seddit
