25 years old living in US working remotely full time. Gonna give this program a shot. Logging progress here and on GLL. Signed the petition, going to start approaching tomorrow. Suffer from mild social anxiety so expect to struggle but will persevere through.
 
Congrats on starting the program! Hope u see it through to the end. People here are very nice and have some sage advice.
 
Day 4

Weather not great today, did it by plaza by me. Not a ton of people around.

Set 1:
Older woman walking down the street. Not attractive, gave me the time.

Set 2:
Cute girl walking down the street, gave me the time but didn't stop.

Set 3:
Older woman waiting for food to come out, gave me the time.

Set 4:
Cute girl in CVS had headphones in, gave me the time

Set 5:
Cute girl in Target had headphones in too, gave me the time.

5/5 for getting the time so that's nice :). Even though Chris said this was easy, it was actually kind of hard for me, took around 30 minutes. It's definitely harder to stop a woman who's walking down the street. Reactions are not really warm but I wouldn't call them negative per se. Not sure if my delivery is to blame, I'm nervous and I feel like it's coming across a bit.

Anyway, on to the next day.

You did well, remember to keep focusing on YOUR execution, not the girls' reactions. You're just asking the time, they won't be jumping up with joy regardless lol.

Keep pushing
 
Great job gettin out there.

30 min aint bad, I think it took me just as long in the beginning as well.

Any type of reaction is a good reaction, be it positive or negative. Its all experience in the long run.

I wouldn't worry about it.


It's not about getting *better* reactions its about getting *comfortable with all* reactions.

Burn this into your brain because it will make your life a million times easier if you do each day with that mindset.

The reaction actually doesn't matter. At all. It's about you slowly becoming used to a wide variety of reactions.
