How do you make people feel good when they're around you?

I don't demand their full attention but I would like to connect to them on some level It is not entierly your call to make. Other people are allowed to not want to connect with you and you have to accept that. Keep going out and meeting new people. Some of them will want to connect more with you. J...

finally manning up and starting the AA program

i think the causes of my shortcoming today are a mixture of a really bad fucking weather I know what you're talking about. I had a similar experience today (on day 16). I don't know if it's just in our heads or if people are more stand-offish when it's colder/raining/snowing. If you dare, you could...

Tinder Profile Feedback

I'll do laser surgery soon Hey man, just a heads up because you're only 21. I've had laser surgery done this year and my doctors told me that they don't recommend it for people not already in their late twenties. The reason is that your eye could still be growing and changing until then. If you get...

notAndy's AA Program Log - Day 16b (not all progress happens on the outside)

Day 16b Asking for high-fives was difficult today. For about twenty minutes I was walking around and asked for high-fives, although not many. For most women I initially wanted to approach I came up with an excuse why I couldn't. After a few unsuccessful attempts I wanted to quit the drill. I asked m...

notAndy's AA Program Log - Day 16c (letting go actually works!)

Day 16c Last night I started re-reading "Letting Go" by David Hawkins. The first time I read it I didn't even finish the book and felt it wasn't really helpful. I'm only 20 or so pages in but this time I felt there is something I must have missed on my first read. I decided to incorporate letting go...

notAndy's AA Program Log - Day 16d (no more high-fives - for now)

Day 16d I did it! I finished my drill. I got ten high-fives during my lunch break (got two more yesterday after updating my log), including two from women who were smoking and one who was eating. Today I had to do a ton of approaches (which was pretty easy) to get the high-fives, but I didn't care t...

New to the forums, hit me with your feedback

You didn't tell us what you are actually trying to achieve with your pictures but here's my two cents. - Picture #1 and #6 are pretty good. They show that you are well groomed and have a decent style (although not fuckboy-ish.) - Picture #3 is the only halfway interesting one. Technically speaking I...

notAndy's AA Program Log - Day 17b (when you're going through hell, keep going)

Day 17b 35 minutes. That's all it took to sing the ABC 12 times (13 actually). I'm so glad I pushed myself today to do the whole drill. Initially it wasn't easy. I vividly remembered my first attempt and how uncomfortable that made me feel. However, unlike on Tuesday, today the drill got easier the ...

notAndy's AA Program Log - Day 19b (silent stares, silent stares everywhere)

Day 19b Finished the Bieber-haircut drill. The drill was definitely easier than last time, but the awkwardness of asking a stranger "how's it going" and not receiving any answer (except from two people) never went fully away. Also, I got the impression people knew I was messing with them when I said...

notAndy's AA Program Log - Day 21b (yup, I got slapped)

Day 21b I so, so, so didn't want to redo the drill. I could distract myself today with work (last night I was invited for dinner) but once I was done with that I was looking for any excuses I could find to not do it or "do it tomorrow" or some other nonsense. There was even this voice in my head tel...
