> [@mindset](#): > > …people already have a preconcieved notion about you? YES. I have had people who hate me start to respect me after i acted like an asshole. I just wore mx102 to re gain their respect. I’ll give you an expample. Serra is a girl you think is dumb. You see Serra 4 months later and think “wow, she is hot”. You now like Serra. same thing will happen with pheromones ---

Interesting… Thing is, I have a problem with social anxiety, and I heard that [Instant Shine](https://a314.com/product/shine/) takes care of that, though, I’m not sure how true that is in each case. Most people think I’m arrogant, because I don’t talk much to them. Of course, they are foolish, considering I don’t talk much to **anyone**. It’s not that I’m nervous or scared, either. I just really don’t know what to say most of the time, and I really have a comfort level of just being myself. However, I noticed that whenever I’m drunk, those inhibitions tend to fall away. Sounds like everything I’ve read on here is what I’m looking for as medicines, herbs, and therapy haven’t done shit for me. ---

I understand where you are coming from because I was kinda like that in high school. However, I don’t think [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/) will be a cure, they may help. It comes down to you being more confident in yourself and you’ll find most girls you talk to are in the same boat as you when it comes to thinking of things to say. I believe the more important thing for attracting a woman isn’t necessarily what you say but how you say it… Speak with confidence and it doesn’t matter what you say because girls will pick up on your confidence. ---

Mindset - just wanted to say that I think a lot of guys are like that, and a lot of girls actually find it quite charming 🙂 Having said that, I’ve personally found that being shy can really reduce your opportunities to meet people, so I really try to push myself to get out and about, particulary when I notice I’m avoiding contact. I do this, even knowing that I’ll find myself in slightly awkward or uncomfortable situations from time to time because each time it gives me the feeling that I’ve conquered my own anxieties a little more. Pheromones are not likely to do all the work for you (in fact the chances are you won’t even notice them doing anything at all to begin with), but in spite of being a serious sceptic, I do believe that they affect people. They might be worth a try just because they’ll give you more of an incentive to go out and play, and to learn about people’s body language etc. ---

Thanks for the replies thus far. Well, I suppose a large reason why I tend to avoid people is because of my mood. I used to be a heavy pot smoker for 5 years, and while pot affects everybody differently, it definately turned on me to the point of altering my personality. I had to drop the habit because it started to get the best of me, and most of the people I talked to were either potheads themselves, or used other drugs. That’s not the kind of life I wanted, nor want. Plus it seemed to have increased my anxiety even more pushing me to be anti-social. Anyways, I kicked the habit for many other reasons. I’ve been clean for a year and almost a month, and do not plan on ever smoking again. If IS does give you the same feeling as alcohol or close to it, then I shouldn’t have a problem opening up. It sounds like it could be beneficial in helping me curve the anxiety, not necessarily cure it. Any bit of help will do. ---

Sounds like everything I’ve read on here is what I’m looking for as medicines, herbs, and therapy haven’t done shit for me. I have almost the same problem – although people don’t think I’m arrogant, mostly just a little vapid since I’ll laugh to avoid answering with a witty comeback that is just not there. Now with my friends, or when I write, it’s very different. Instant Shine DEFINITELY works for me. Add a little [Instant Openness](https://a314.com/product/instant-openness/), and it’s unbelievable. I start talking to strangers before I can stop myself. I may sound foolish, but to me that’s at least some progress. Silences don’t bother me. But terrible answers or conversation do. I’m horrible at small talk. And believe me, I’m one of those people who hit their heads against the wall hours after horrible conversations thinking, “THAT’S what I should have said.” Glad to hear you’re clean now. :o ---

People think I’m this big dork or something, but I just brush them off, because I know my reasons for avoiding people in general. I think with the mixes you said, I should be able to open up more and live. Thanks for the support, I wont go near that shit again.
