Steve-o needs some Help-o

Wow, steve-o. First I find out you live in the same area as me, then now I find out we both act the same in real life! :O

Well, I just stick to my little group of close friends, the only bad thing is that they don't believe a word I say when I start speaking of conspiracies and the paranormal.

Wow !!!!! In what part of NY ya live in bro ?? .... We could "pratice" on talkin' n stuff ........

* Yes, in the first stages a bit of booze will help

* Remember that this is something you actually want to achieve (to appear self-confident in public), remind yourself why that would be great on a regular basis.

* Turn around "What impression am I making on them?" to "What impression are they making on me?"

* Focus not on yourself or the way you might be looking or talking, but become extremely interested in others...in what others are saying, thinking, doing.

* When talking, pretend you are talking on BTS. Here you dont seem to have any problem talking...just take the same attitude with you to "out there".

* Ocassionally put on willfull acts of being another persona or "faking it". If you fake self-confidence long enough, you will become just that.

* Have it be totally fine when you completely mess up because you have many things and people in your life to remind you of your value...

... You dont need other peoples confirmation, approval, attention, agreement.

Speak after me: "I dont care what others think of me. The world is not about me anyway, its about a bunch of other stuff".

The same part as you, Brooklyn, New York.

Edit- Hm, this sounds like the usual online sexual predator scenario O.o

Not that I'm accusing you of anything, just pointing out this stereotypical situation.

reply to post by Duzey


Sorry about that Duzey ... as for the "update" .... I actually improved alote ....... when I was talkin' to my girl over the phone I didn't blank out .... and I didn't make a fool of myself ....... I'd like to thank all ya folks for helpin' me out so far ......... after doin' my "short Podcast" I've gained some confidence ...... my hands no longer shake when I'm on the phone ...... and I'm gonna meet a fellow ATS member by the name of Hyzera in a week or so ....... ( hope I spelled it right )

Hey Steve - Just saw this thread now actually - u really have been given some great advice and I'm glad it's going better for u - Like I've mentioned in the past, ur welcome to bs with me by phone for practice as well - I tend to be a big talker i.e. I talk a lot - lol - so I'm sure I'd do a pretty good job of filling in any missing gaps - heck, u might get braver just to keep me from talking so much - lol.
