Losing my game

[Eternity]

Noticed it today after 3 interactions with women today. My voice faltered, my body language was somewhat shaky, doses of nervousness, and my mind went blank. A couple of months of slacking really takes a toll on someone's game. I know common cure is more approaching but anyone else dealt with this in a more creative way? It's funny, a week ago i was really buzzed and went to Sam's club and hit it off with some chick working there but she's a solid 5 (chunky). So, in my head it didn't count but everything clicks more for me when i'm on liquor Thoughts?

All I have to say is social momentum is real. Don't go sprinting when you're not warmed up and don't run 20 miles before you train up. Same with social skills. Chat up more people, get into the habit of it.

Go from averaging 30 head-shot kills in Halo 2 a day, to less than 10.

Go from hitting your 1-frame combos in Street Fighter 4 every time, to not even able to perform a simple FADC-ultra set up.

Go from fucking two new girls a month, to a 2 month dry spell.

It's a bad day, bad month, bad period - whatever. It happens

Watch your body posture, watch your internal monologues, watch your voice, etc. Just be aware of what's faltering, find the bad habit in your mind that's causing it, and just try and catch yourself making a mistake. Your mind will eventually learn to quit being a bitch

Yeah. Problem with me is my big ego, I always want to close and as fast as I can. Many years of not moving fast enough have put pressure on me to always be my best. I know it's not always possible but I like to try. Thus, when I can't open or talk to the hottest chick that I can, shit gets to me and I end up bummed out cuz I hate to fail. Hopefully you're right and this is just a shitty month or week for me...

Hey Eternity,

I had a discussion about something similar with Gentle Phrases which might provide a few useful insights. I am not at anywhere near your level of achievement (and neither is GP) but if you can take anything from it, please do, I'll be happy to have been of some assistance.

Did you get my last P.M? Hopefully it is of assistance to you also

Yes I did—thank you. Just now I am expending a lot of mental capacity on something else; I'll take a closer look early next. I appreciate it!
