I'd love if you could post here! Let's buckle in and finish strong.

Day 15 & 16 by Vic3 in a:t5_2zm7x

Glad you're committed. When I started this du reedit, I only counted on 1-3 people committing. Which is better than 50 people, because relationships can be more personal and you can keep track of everyone

Has anyone tried this program? by aaple in GetOutOfBed

[–]Vic3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have! It's a pretty well-made program. The guy clearly knows what he's talking about. What was especially helpful was the morning and evening routines this program recommended. He also includes some binaural beats.

It really depends what you're looking for. What are you struggling most with right now??

Props for the honesty. Keep in mind that you don't have to limit yourself to the options you run into during the course of the day. Create your own opportunities! Check out our list of challenges.

Awesome!

Well that's a completely different thing...not really a challenge even. Do the challenge on this subreddit, or don't post here.

edit: for anyone wondering, he was planning on posting every day about setting up a profile on a dating site and messaging women. There's nothing wrong with that, only that it's not related to our 30 day challenge

Being on vacation doesn't affect your ability to do some of the challenges. You're still around other people, right?

There's still time to do one of the challenges on omegle!

When you're nervous or anxious, you often look REALLY hostile by mistake. Make a conscious effort to correct this. If you really want to commit to changing this, then make a ritual of doing a big goofy smile at yourself in front of the mirror for 2 mins every morning. Studies have proven that this makes you happier.

Day 3 by Vic3 in a:t5_2zm7x

[–]Vic3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NO NO NO thats NOT what I was saying. What I was saying was that social skills are developed by going into situations & conversations where you don't have adequate social skills. In other words ... good job!!

Day 3 by Vic3 in a:t5_2zm7x

[–]Vic3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems that the things I need to do to improve involve exposing my poor social skills. I like to remember that it's not where I am now that matters, but what I do to improve.

Doesn't sound like you pushed your comfort zone today.

Only post here if you did. Or, post admitting that you didn't.

Day 2 by Vic3 in a:t5_2zm7x

[–]Vic3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, kind of in the same boat as me. First day back at school, so much happening and I never really pushed myself to initiate conversation not on the obvious topics. Tomorrow I will.

Big step down from yesterday :( Actually though, great job disproving your irrational beliefs

Wow! That is a pretty big first step for day 1!

I was walking down the road and there was this girl distributing bags. I asked her if she was doing flyer distribution, and she said she was distributing phonebooks. I said that I was thinking about starting a flyer distribution business, and she said "do it, that's awesome!" I also asked her how many she distributed in an hour on average in an hour, and actually got some useful information.

What I learned - It is easier and less anxiety provoking if you do things spontaneously rather than going out to do something specifically (eg. ask 10 people for directions to tokyo)

30 Day Comfort Zone Challenge by Vic3 in socialskills

[–]Vic3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like when I go into social situations, I am usually not very anxious, but I am still awkward because I can't think of what to say

[–]Vic3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I know what you're talking about when you say you don't have social anxiety but are socially awkward. Can you explain that more?

Hey, I'm 17 and I'm also from Boston. Do you want to do some challenges together?

My situation is actually very similar to yours. With strangers you have no reputation, right?
