I have a question regarding towards the learning curve of the excersises provided in the book and improving my social interactions towards being able to "attract woman through honesty".
So far I have found this book a life changer since i personally came from a place of narcissism. I started to develop an narcistical mindset after my neediness caused the girl i was dating to ghost me at 18 years old. A year ago I left an toxic relationship and after some healing I decided to pick up this book after being introduced to the art of not giving a f#ck. I turn 23 years old in 4 days and have been reading the book for about 10 weeks.
Like i said this book has changed my entire way of thinking. The first week reading this has caused me to experience some sort of mental breakdown because of the complete change of mindset the book caused me to undertake. I also noticed my openess and friendships increased exponentially since i allowed myself to openly and honestly express myself without expectations.
It also helped me to quit drinking because, when i sat down with myself and was honest i realised drinking is just not my cup of tea. Had some awsome parties being completely sober since.
The book says that all the improvement takes time but since i came from a place of narcissism and have approached woman in the past with succes I sometimes have trouble getting myself to approaching in a vulnerable state. I know the book also refers to this and explains that I have to allow myself to give it time to develop, however i can't stop thinking about the fact that I'm physically capable and have done in the past to approach woman.
Its causing a mental tug of war in my mind. When I'm in a good mindset i approach, when I'm not I don't approach and feel bad.
The book recommended to learn to deal with these anxieties by going out consistently and practising. This worked good for me on terms of eye contact and i would keep scores with myself by starting out winning 2 out of 10 to winning 9 out of 10 eye staring contests.
Yesterday I decided to drop the thought of only approaching woman i find attractive to apply this anxiety overcomming strategy with approaches instead.
My idea with this is to approach and talk to every person i have some sort of interest in and especially saying what comes in my mind when i see the person. I do have one concern with this method that has prevented me from starting sooner and that is one line in the book.
"only approach woman you find attractive"
This statement in the book somewhat interferes with what I want to do. On one side I am litterally just trying to develop the skil to be able to approach everyone everywhere and have a good conversation if the polarisation allows it.
However on the other side, it will mean that i will be approaching woman i would not perse be attracted to.
Would this be the right thing to do?
If i would only approach woman i honestly find gorgeous than I'm afraid I would only approach a small handful per week.
