I've mainly been posting these for myself so that I can recount all the little steps I've made toward killing AA. So far I'm pretty happy with my incremental progress. I feel way more comfortable talking to strangers now compared to 3 nights ago (https://www.reddit.com/r/seduction/comments/4814o0/aa_so_hard_that_i_got_really_angry_with_myself/), so I hope after a month of progress, I'll finally be able to approach cute girls instead of stopping dead in my tracks.

Highlights

  • approached a guy at the gym doing handstands and asked him for advice on how to achieve a handstand
  • held the door open for everyone who was close enough behind me and gave them strong eye contact and a "you're welcome"
  • cracked a joke with a gorgeous lady in her early-30s and got a laugh after we both parked our cars next to each other. joke was about how some guy cut her off just moments before.
  • eye-fucking every cute girl I walk past. It's been pretty fun and seems so natural now. I don't immediately glance away if they look back.
  • asked lady behind counter at coffee shop how her day was in a confident manner. Her eyes lit up, and she responded positively.
  • met up with friends and met their female friends, whom I joked around with and instantly built up a good connection with them

All in all, I feel pretty confident right now, as if I'm riding a wave. I know the confidence will probably drop a bit after this initial high. I hope my posts have inspired even one Sedditor to at least take baby steps toward more confidence if he (or she) has AA.
