How old were you exactly when you discovered you could read peoples minds ?
The truth is you cant read minds. You were reading what your own ego was telling you. “he’s better then me, they wont like me, I’m weird” That was the voice of fear and fear usually is lying to us. Its your own protective response. If I risk nothing I cant get hurt. But the truth is you risked nothing and you still hurt dont you ? Frankly I would rather risk something and hurt then do nothing and hurt. At least you move forward and learn that way.
Is it true he is better then you ? No it is not. He is just different then you. No one person is better then another. He/she may be better at doing something but not better as a human
Is it true they wont like you ? No its not. Sure maybe they dont instantly want to jump in bed with you, maybe everyone of them wont be interested but that can be said for everyone. You have to like yourself enough to give people a chance to like you.
Are you really weird ? Probably not as weird as you believe yourself to be. Who told you weird is bad anyways ? I am weird. Seriously most people who meet me think I am weird. They will actually say it to me. I always smile and say “Thank you, your ordinary” You should see the look on there faces. Suddenly weird doesn’t seem so bad. See the difference is I like my weirdness and because I like it so do others.
Your being a virgin is neither here nor there. Every single person was one at some point and there is no time limit or exact time your supposed to get rid of it. Your not the only 22 year old virgin in the world you know. I know you feel like you are but your not. Besides no one can look at you and say "he is a virgin, unless your projecting it with your body language. There is no rule in which you need to tell anyone either if you think it will make you uncomfortable or feel nervous. I guarantee you this and Tish is always right. You wont be a virgin forever.
None of these things including pheros will help unless you work on liking yourself first. I am willing to bet the only real difference between you and your friends BF is he likes himself and naturally thinks everyone will like him as well. As he said “it just comes”. That is why it comes, not because he is special in some way. How he feels about himself comes across in his body language and in how he interacts with others. If someone rolls there eyes at him or snubs him he naturally thinks something is wrong with them not himself.
My coaching style consists of starting at the beginning. If you jump in right in the middle you set yourself up for failure. PUA tactics are the middle. You cant stop negative self talk unless someone tells you how. You can take my advice or stop reading here and continue feeling alone. You have nothing to lose though so I suggest you keep reading.
For 2011 the first thing you need to work on is liking you even the parts you think are not likable. I know some people hem and haw when affirmations are suggested but they really do work. Most people who hem and haw honestly dont do it correctly so they dont see the results and then end up saying it dosent work.
The easiest way is to write them on some index cards and start reading them every day
Use “I am” statements…
I am a great guy and people like me.
I am unique and special in every single way
I am charismatic and people want to be with me
I am hot and in demand
I am the captain of my ship.
These are just examples…Write your own but be sure they are positive. Dont write about what your not by saying “I am not weird”
You dont have to believe them you just have to keep repeating them. Every day, each one at least 10 times , 3 times a day for at least 21 days. That’s how long it takes for something to seep into the subconscious. You will probably still be nervous when you go out but those subconscious thoughts will command your body language and how you interact with others and before you know it someone will say to you. How do you do it ? and you can say… It just comes.
You can also download or listen to pre recorded one. I like Stin Hansen. Yes even coaches have a coach and I still do them a few times a week myself. You can download her stuff on Itunes and listen to it where ever if you have a MP3 player or listen to it in the background while your online messing around. Plenty of free stuff there.

If you go here >>>> self esteem - Google Search
You can preview a lot of the books free and see which appeals to you. These are just my favorites. Just look for the preview button next to the title of each book. I can spend all day in google books, you know why? Cause I am weird.
By the way anyone can benefit from these books even those who have good self esteem.
Next assignment >>>>> (I could give you assignments all day LOL)
I want you to write a list of all your best qualities. You do have them so dont say you dont. There can be no bad without good its a scientific fact.
I want you to hang that list next to your bed and read it every night. Dont rush through it. Take the time to think about each one.
Now I am gonna tell you what your friends boyfriend didnt tell you. How it just comes…
Now make a list of the qualities and personal goals you would like to have that you need to work on. We all have them, no one is perfect. Problem is when you look at them all lumped together in your mind they seem insurmountable. If you write them down and take them on one at a time its easier and you gain more headway.
Dont make the goals so big that they are way out of your comfort zone.
Suppose your shy and your goal is to interact more. Start just a little out of your normal comfort zone.
I will say hello first to 10 people I dont know today. You dont need to stop and converse just say hello and keep walking. Do it till it just comes.
Once your comfortable with that…
I will start a short casual conversation with one person today. Do it till it just comes.
See you just need to take little steps to move out of your comfort zone until it becomes your new comfort zone. You can do this with any goal. Jumping straight into the PUA arena can be to overwhelming for some. Even Mystery has his people take baby steps. (Yes I watched his VH1 show LOL)
Some of us do this process in our heads like your friends BF and some of us need to consciously do the steps by working on them one by one before it just comes natural.
Dont think your alone in this process. People look at me and think I am oh so outgoing so its easy for me but I have my fears and hangups to.
For instance this past year they started having the employees give the weekly safety talk on the intercom at work. Since I am a so outgoing and talkative they all looked at me to go first. Sure I can talk socially for days with small casual groups but to stand up at the desk and talk on the intercom. Well that terrified me, I dont know why it just does. Maybe because I am so used to reading peoples body language and its part of how I interact with others but I cant see it when I am on the intercom so I dont know how to react to there responses. Anywho… I made excuses, but I also made a goal to over come it. So I started small by just saying something short and sweet on the intercom. Like “Mike you have a call on line one” or when someone had a birthday I would ask the supervisor if I could announce it on the intercom. “Its Mikes birthday today, donuts in the swing room” (we have donuts in the lunch room on everyone’s birthday. Slowly I got used to it and gave the safety talk last November. I am still working on this problem though but I will overcome it.
Ok, I can give you more assignments but I dont want to overwhelm you. You have a choice. You can sit there feeling lonely and do nothing and things will remain the same or you can sit there lonely and work on some of your goals and issues and change your reality from lonely to sociable. Doing some of the above things will get you started. 2011 can be a great year for you. Its your choice. I charge people $75 bucks a hour for my time (of course I am walking them through it) but your luck has already changing. I am giving it to you free. Dont tell my clients it will piss them off (snort)
Besides your really not totally alone. We are here with you.
