This is more of a message to myself when I first started. I'm a little over a year and a half into the game and have had decent results. However, since moving to a new city and not knowing anyone who formally does game, I am forced to solo day and night unlike when I used to live in LA, when there were always wings readily able to go out.

​

I am finding that my AA has skyrocketed like when I first started. During the day I end up walking hours upon hours in my head unable to approach, when I've already had previous experience (Yes you heard it here first). I found out later, when I created a group of people to hang out with, that my AA was nearly non existent and it was very easy to approach.

​

I have created a reliance on having wings by my side to joke around with and challenge myself. The most accurate thing I could describe it as is a situational confidence because I've had so many positive experiences when gaming with other people.

​

This is a huge problem, because take away my wings and I'm back to square one again, shy, timid, and a majority of the time in my head. You are with yourself the longest, gaming while solo is much harder to do, but will yield confidence no matter where you are or who you are with.

So to those out there just starting or maybe you've been in the game for a while, set a day a week and GO SOLO. Had I done this in the past more often, I wouldn't be struggling so hard on my own.

​

TLDR: Set time to go out solo every week.
