If you are looking for something to help your approach anxiety or social phobia, that is.
I came here 4 to 5 years ago looking to rid myself of all of my social fears and become the charming alpha male who could get any girl at any time. I spent hundreds on pheromones, thinking I knew how they worked. I saw some weird things from women of Indian and African American descent, and from the girls who I actually interacted with, but for the most part I didn’t notice any positive signs because I was still keeping to myself almost entirely.
Eventually I started learning how to work on myself from the inside. I went to therapy, I read books, I started trying to build muscle at the gym. And only then, was I still in the exact same place I was before.
Yep. No change. You can talk about your feelings, learn about socializing, and be completely shredded all you want, but the only thing that is going to get you over your fear is getting out there and talking to people. Learn to be incredibly interested in other people. Make embarrassing mistakes in social situations and just roll with them. Learn to balance truly caring for every person you come into contact with, and not giving a single fuck about what that person thinks about you. Because in the end the only person whose opinion matters is your own, unless you decide that you value that other persons opinion. But that is a choice you make, not something that you live in fear of. For me, when I stopped worrying about the opinions of the people closest to me, I stopped worrying about the opinions of every one else as well.
As I have gone along this journey of being comfortable socially, and learning to have fun in any situation, I have learned so much about myself. My personality, the way I think, my strengths, my weaknesses. And I continue to learn more every day. Only since then have I learned how to use pheromones to enhance the positive qualities that I possess. And let me tell you, I get quite the bang for my buck.
I am not saying that if you spray some random pheromones on and have positive results. You probably will at some point. And it is a lot of fun to do. But I just want to reach some people who are in a similar situation to what I used to be in. So my final thoughts to those people are these. Work on making yourself the best version of yourself. Be unapologetic about what you want, own your desires and own your intentions. Learn from your mistakes, but never let a failure hold you back from taking another chance. Recognize small successes as growth, and know that you can use that growth as momentum for more growth. And lastly, remember that it is never too late to become the person you want to be, but you aren’t going to spray them out of a bottle.
Love.
