This sub and other subs, pua forums, youtubers, etc have given me a lot of hints, tips, tricks, as well as help with my social anxiety but it also feels like its taking away my ability to be genuine and myself.

Now when I approach someone i literally have no clue what to do or say unless I follow a script. I am literally starting from scratch having never really approached women in the past, certainly not cold approaches and rarely sober, so having a good opener and talking points does help, and perhaps i just need more time in the field tocwork out the kinks of anxiety, but now I'm starting to feel like i have no clue what to do without a script to follow.

Can anyone else relate?
