Hello!
I am a senior in high school and am wondering if anyone can give me advice as to whether or not pheromones even work for someone my age. I live in New England, and I am a girl.
I suppose one could say I have been “lurking” on the site for a year or so. I don’t remember how, but one day, I just stumbled on PheroTalk. I’ve since been fascinated, but kept my distance. Every so often I would check in to read more accounts about how pheromones have worked for other people. I’ve been impressed so far, and thus, curious. Essentially I am curious because although I don’t consider myself socially inept, I’m more shy than I’d like to be. Therefore, I wonder if pheromones would help me somehow. Does there even exist a pheromone specifically intended to decrease shyness? I want to have more fun in my daily interactions with other people, and be less self-conscious. As far as my personality goes, if it is helpful for you to know, I consider myself a person who doesn’t like to take herself too seriously, and is quite light-hearted and fun when she is around people she knows well. I have an intellectual side too, but too many people prejudge me for that dimension of myself, and frankly, it can be irritating.
From pheromones, I just want an opportunity to be more comfortable socially and especially around guys. Another thing I want from pheromones? Just a little attention. I have an issue about being ignored. Perhaps because I am sometimes too quiet, I feel overlooked sometimes. I’ve had enough of it, really.
Although I have read many threads on the forum, there is still so much I don’t understand. All of the other posters seem to know everything there is to know about pheromones, and I wonder, “how?” It seems like such a precise science, are you all so knowledgeable simply because of experience?
What I want most is for all of your vast knowledge to be bestowed upon me 
. I want to know so much:
Can pheromones work for a teenager like me?
Is it possible my body chemistry would reject pheromones altogether?
Which pheromone has the highest success rate?
Is there a pheromone to boost confidence?
Is there a pheromone to get attention (small doses, I’m not an attention whore!)?
Which pheromones attract which type of people?
I hope from what I’ve mentioned that you have some sort of understanding of my situation and why I’m curious about pheromones. Any advice or modicum of counsel you’d like to offer would be immensely appreciated. If you’d like to know more about me, or even tell me about your personal experiences with pheromones as they are relevant to my situation, talk to me! Let me know! I’m up for anything!
