No. Fuck no. "Boot camps" in all fields (seduction, fitness, etc.) exist because people have your exact same attitude.

"I have this problem. I'll pay anything to make it go away!"

Then they charge a high price and make it especially difficult in some way. Either it's a high time commitment or really fucking early in the morning. Whatever. But this combination of difficult and expensive makes you believe it will work.

My suggestion is stay away from boot camps. Social anxiety is not a problem you can throw money at and make go away. I'll write a follow up on what I think you should do if you're interested.

If you have a genuine anxiety problem, a bootcamp probably won't help you. Shit, I'd argue most bootcamps don't really help anybody, but I digress. If you have these issues just because you're lacking a social circle, then I'd spend that money to get yourself in a place or hobby where you can meet people and get out of your shell.

I'd suggest that you try the Marines, you will definitely learn confidence in yourself and get in better physical shape while learning self discipline.

Dude thank you so much for writing this out even if it's just a pasta. I'll write. A more detailed follow up here but I need sleep now.

The best boot camp you can go through is to walk out in public, take a deep breath, and go start conversations with strangers. Whether it's walking toward a woman or commenting on what a guy is doing, all conversations are practice.

If you're unwilling to put in the work to transform yourself and develop social skills, then a bootcamp will not sustain any long-term growth. You might get a quick fix for certain issues, but unless you nurture the skills taught in a bootcamp, you won't get anything out of it in the long-run.

I'm not saying this to discourage you, but to give you a more realistic idea of how things work. It's not like in a videogame when you reach level 50, you stay level 50 no matter what. If you don't continuously nurture and practice your skills, you will regress.

The point is, if you're unwilling to put in the work right now without taking a bootcamp, I wouldn't recommend taking a bootcamp. If you're looking for a magic pill solution, you're really not gonna find one.

Very generally speaking (it's not like I took most bootcamps out there), a boot camp will only "work" if you continue to actually go out and practice what's being taught. And I mean no offense, but people who generally look for quick fixes don't continuously practice.
