Hi everyone. 
I’m Sunny and I reside in FL. I hardly ever give a formal intro (typically dive right in and then lurk after a while – until something piques my interest…it’s the introvert in me). I’m here because of just that, I’d like to be a bit more open and I’m hoping pheromones will help. fingers crossed
Has it helped anyone with a similar personality?
hey there and welcome!
I think mones can help you out quite a lot! For instance I find that when I’m wearing IO I tend to talk more and I’ll even type more if I’m typing 
the words just fly right out. I would suggest IO or IH for that purpose. Some of the ladies in here might have better advice about the women’s products, but those are a great place to start. IS is also another one that can make your personality bloom. It has a tendancy to light me up and gives off a youthful fun playful vibe that people love to be around.
Let us know how things go!
Yes indeed! I’m not very outgoing in person. 
At least I wasn’t very outgoing until I found pheros. Keep in mind they’re not magic, you still have to WANT to talk to people - what we call congruency - you still have to act like you’re the life of the party, so to speak, but for most of us, pheromones can help with that!
Many pheromones are communicative or social pheromones, and they generally help with/induce/ease communication. Some examples would be Instant Openness, Instant Honesty to start with. Others you could try include Instant Shine (this is GREAT for self effects) or you could try the single molecule lines, TAA and TAC should be right up your alley.
If you simply want to see effects, I’d suggest IO, IH or Instant Shine to start with. They’ve got the ridiculous money back guarantee, and they’re extremely well tested. Although for more focused, even scientific experimentation, the single molecule products and putatives can be quite interesting.
As a lurker, I’m sure you’ve already found the Women’s Discussion board, but I’d also suggest reading a bit of the Pheromone Theory and Abstracts subforums - great info all around, although sometimes it can be dense reading.
Welcome to the forums!
Hey Empath! Thanks for the warm welcome
Reading that is encouraging, I’ll definitely have to give them all a whirl. I’m curious to see the self effects, especially IO and IS. I’ve been reading a bit today and IIRC, IS was tweaked a while back - can you detect a difference?.. (that is, if you’ve had a chance to try them both)
A youthful playful vibe sounds great to me, I may just start with IS!
Thanks Redlion. It appears IO, IH and IS are excellent starting points.
I haven’t come across the single molecule line as yet, curiosity is getting the best of me. Would you say it trumps IO, etc. or that they simply have different effects? Thanks for your feedback! I’ll definitely check out the theory & abstracts sub forum.
Many of the single molecule pheromones are ingredients in the consumer line. TAA, for instance, is one of the main ingredients in Instant Shine. Be cautious when using single molecule sprays though. The effects can be more pronounced because they aren’t mixed with anything, or “buffered” as we say.
If you use too much of any particular compound you’ll probably OD - which is not the same as as a drug overdose! OD stands for opposite of desired effect. Sometimes if you overload people’s senses with too many pheromone signals, they react negatively, or react as though the pheromones didn’t exist. We call it ODing or ghosting because (in the case of social mones) the intended effect is to talk more. If you ghost, they won’t talk to you at all! Or they’ll look at you funny, or look past you, or even become angry.
My intention isn’t to scare you: you really have to pour it on to OD on social pheromones. It’s much more common to OD or ghost on attraction pheromones.
But yeah, as to comparing putatives and experimones (single molecule sprays) and MXs (mixed experimental batches) with the consumer products, it’s tough to say. Some people swear by the instant line and never use anything else; others find that they need more customization, or they want to explore past simply finding something that works. It’s really up to you 
In many cases I tend to think the stronger the better. I did, however, hit the brakes upon reading the second paragraph. Ghosting is it? Thank you for sharing that with me, Redlion.
Hello Sunshine
Welcome to Pherotalk.
Pheromones can be very helpful to the introvert. They wont do all the work for you but they can be a catalyst for more interaction for both you and those around you.
IO, IH and Ishine are excellent starting points and are in most serious mone users arsenals.
Stronger is not better especially with mones. More is not better either. Dosage is critical. To much and you overwhelm and repel people. Not enough and people wont register the signal. It makes it a little tough because we are all chemically different and mones are not one size fits all. You have to play with the dosage a bit to find what compliments you the best. We can give you a general starting point and range to work in though.
If you have any questions just ask and I hope to chat with you in the forum
