Hey everyone. I started following the journey of PUAs and I seem to resonate with their stories. I have moderate social anxiety, low confidence when interacting with others, a limited social life, and feel like getting good at pickup could change my life in all aspects. I consider myself a decent looking guy with an above average physique. I have a bad habit of reading too much information without applying, so I am really looking to take bold action here in attempt to change my life. So with that being said, if anyone reading this has ever been at the same point in life as I am right now, I would appreciate if you answer my questions and give me your insight :)

Is getting over AA as simple as approaching tons of girls endlessly? - I made my first cold approach about 2 weeks ago indirectly by asking for the directions and then turning it into a conversation. I ended up getting her snap and we talked for a little after that. I don't really care about whether she actually liked me or not, just want to grow the confidence to do this at scale. I have read about a program by Good Looking Loser for AA, but it's long and I feel like there's a faster way to get over AA. How did you personally get over AA? Or if not, how did it eventually have less of an effect on you?

After getting over AA, how did you improve your actual conversational skills and learn to convey alpha male dominance? One thing that I do all the time is I get stuck in my head during conversation and I'm not truly able to be myself in a relaxed manner, which ends up making the conversation very awkward. I have been practicing mindfulness meditation which allows me to not become critical of myself after every awkward conversation. One thing I am going to do is film my interactions and study them later that night to figure out what I could have done better. What have you guys done to improve your social IQ?

I have a feeling that it just comes down to fucking up a bunch of times until you succeed, and then as you succeed more, you'll grow a new self image and you'll get better. I just need to learn to not give a fuck. Please leave your suggestions and answers to my questions. I appreciate it.
