So I think I am officially hopeless when it comes to phero self effects. I have been using Shine for a while with no boost in confidence and a bunch of the other Instants which have also given me no self effects. I only occasionally get potential hits but not very often. A lot of times I am actually self-concious about it and thing that its driving people away. The only one that seems to affect me is Spaceland.
Tonight I took 7 drops of A314 and applied them to my wrists and forearms and waited a few hours but I feel no different.
Is there something I can do to enhance the self-effects of pheromones? I heard that some people take some instant shine and put a drop under their nose. I tried one drop and it did nothing for me, but I was thinking about taking a drop of spaceland and putting it there. What do you guys think?
P.S. The main reason I want self-effects is because I am very shy and have little confidence so I think a self-improvement would cause a social improvement in my case.
Self effects tend to dissappear quickly if you wear artificial pheromones frequently. Don’t count on spraying them on yourself in your room and then noticing a big difference in yourself. It may happen a bit at first but the effect will rapidly fade with repeated uses.
On the other hand, if your social interactions change that will have an enduring effect on your perceptions and behaviors. Get out and start to explore how the pheromones influence others. As you gain experience in interactions you will also gain confidence. That type of confidence will endure.
You might want to lay off the pheromones for a week or so to “reset” your own perception. When you come back, you’ll definitely notice stronger self-effects. Also, you’ll see how big of a difference they make (you can get desensitized to that, especially with A314).
The thing for me is that I haven’t been using them for more than a few weeks and not shine all the time either. At first I tried just AMMO (seemed like even with one spray people moved away rather than toward) and even the first time I tried shine I didn’t feel anything.
I’m having the same issue as you Kav. I have A314 and a 2x Instant Shine and the only self effects I get from them is that they make me very thirsty after I’ve been wearing them for about an hour.
I’ve only been using the phero’s for about 2 weeks and have slowly built up to 3 sprays of IS and/or 3 drops of A314 at a given time, so I’m hoping I just haven’t hit a sweet spot yet. I’ll let you know if I have any success.
