I recently started a new job (After the turmoil of losing my last one) where I do data entry for work, its a temporary position until I can find something more stable.
My job is literally just staring at a screen and typing away until my eye bleeds with no human contact. There is literally no conversation in the office except for people making cold calls to people. This is the company culture I work in. Reminds me of a horrific scene in the movie "The Office". I know I can't leave at least not financially until I find something else, the simple solution is gone. More important I noticed that this job and other circumstances in my life (mostly financial since I am a recent grad with no "real job") makes me feel shitty at times and I know it affects my game.
Yesterday I went out after work and felt the worse anxiety from trying to talk to girls that I haven't felt since I started pickup. I managed to approach a few girls and of course all the sets blew because I felt so nervous and uncomfortable. I had a hunch my new job had a part in this. I confirmed it today when I still couldn't approach after work but after doing some of my hobbies (Toastmasters and a rehearsal), I went to the local CVS and I saw a really cute girl and only hesitated a few seconds and opened her, ended up number closing after yesterday where I was just completely blown out. I was tired, it was late, I looked sweaty but she saw the confidence I had and gave me her number anyway.
Here's my question: Life is always gonna be up and down but I don't want my game to fluctuate with my life. How can I separate my game from the turmoils and problems in my life where it doesn't affect my approaches, dates, and interactions with people?
