How to Go Out Alone to Bars - First Month
-There was a lot more anxiety during these Week 2 drills, the eye contact is still annoying because similar to Day 44 of AA Program, the girls will simply not look at you. But alas I got it in, all of them smiled back but there was one older lady that was staring at me, managed to do the drill on her but it was still creepy. There was anxiety from the sitting portion for 5 minutes, the table had a reserved sign so that gave me more anxiety but the bar was holding karaoke and I slowly realized nobody gave a fuck about me. For the standing section, there was more anxiety as I was standing right next to a table of people playing on their phone but again nobody gave a fuck. I understand the purpose of the standing drills, you are forced to look around at the whole world just pass you by, nobody cares about you. The "hi" and asking for the bathroom drill took me until the end of the night because I had the most anxiety doing these, I was drawing stuck at my desk all day before so I was stuck in my introverted ways. Surprisingly, some of the girls smiled back to me.
