please I need your help, your support, your advice and your inspiration. If I don't do it soon, I am gonna die. In 27 years I've never had the balls to randomly to talk to a female stranger to try to chat them up, because Iam a total loser with no self esteem or confidence.

Tell me what to do. Show me the way.

If the post right above is meant to be a joke, it's neither funny nor intelligent.

As for your question Lonesomeboy, I don't see why you should be so concerned by that. A lot of perfectly normal people are probably unable to be very confident with complete strangers. If it is just that, it won't jeopardize neither your ability to find a girlfriend nor your social life in a broader way.

About your other post, I used to know a guy like that collegue you mention, and the attitude I tended to keep in that kind of situations was of light amusement. I mean it was so patently obvious that he was 10 times better than me at that game that I didn't even feel envious or anything. I just tried to see things as if I was a spectator, and found the scene funny. In fact, I even thought that friend of mine was a bit funny himself in a way, with his super good looks and confidence...

Good luck

I am not a mental health expert, but the first thing you need to do before anything else is to stop thinking about yourself and labeling yourself as a "total loser". So much negative internal mind talk is a serious problem. Garbage in/ Garbage out. If you don't like yourself, it shows, and so what are other people who just meet you supposed to think?

Something you might want to try is to say positive affirmations to yourself. A fact of life is no matter what criteria you use to judge yourself, there is always someone better than you and someone worse off than you. But, everyone has positive attributes. Start planting positive affirmations into your subconcious rather than negative affirmations like "i'm a total loser."

Another fact of life is that not everyone is going to like you. But than again, I am sure that there are some women out there that would like to meet you, so who cares what negative people think, their opinions are meanless.

I am assuming you know what positive affirmations are. If not, google the subject, and read up on it. Doing them dailey, make them believe able, and even if you don't say them to yourself with confidence at first, 'fake it till you make it'. If you can't find info on positive affirmations and are interested, reply and I'll give you some pointers.

I would have difficulty chatting with a woman that I did not know. You are not alone there. When I meet someone new I try not to think that this woman would never like me or something else negative. I just try to think of it as a regular conversation which is something I can handle. When I think of rejection and that I have to make a good impression I fine it hard to talk.. I come off so much better if I do not put so much pressure on myself.

I've been obsessed with being able to chat up girls for some time. I don't know how it can get any better if you have social phobia.

But I can relate to what you're going through and wish you success.

I think one of the main problems is that women are incredibly perceptive and can smell self-doubt a mile off. Seriously man, they're way ahead of us. It's like they have a sixth sense. That means you either need to genuinely get over whatever issues you have with yourself, or else you need to be a damn good actor.
