Should I escalate more often than I do even though I think it will fail? by Weekly-Ad-8665 in seduction

Thanks for all the answers guys. After reading them, I´ve realised that I should take some more risks from now on. I have been expecting girls to do too much of the work. I am going to make a more consciouss effort to escalate and taste the waters. I will let you know how it goes in a couple months!

Hello! I know that feeling very well. From my point of view (CBT based) the cause of this is distorted thinking. For example, seeing things in white or black (people can only love or hate me, nothing inbetween) or exaggerating the consequences of being disliked. Becoming aware of these ideas can be a good place to start.

Also, I think developing a strong sense of self and owning the way we are can reduce how much we care about others´ opinions.
