I said 'Hi' to a girl I don't know at work while I was queuing in line.
That's the first time for a while that I have initiated with a woman, and even though it wasn't totally positive (she didn't totally ignore me, just smiled back) I felt like I had started on the path to building up that 'callus' (where you don't care if you get rejected).
How long does it take to do that?
Give any other forms of life advice that may be pro-active.

How many attempts to at least get a slightly thicker skin? I feel like there's a sort of momentum effect, when I had done that, I wanted to try it again and again, like learning a new trick in a videogame or something.

It's no learning curve, it's achieving a point where you've just had enough, and you stop trying to please everyone like a faggot.
I know alot of people on this board can probably relate.

>had enough
of being single? I think I've had enough of that long ago. I just need to git gud at the talking-to-women thing, it's awkward if you're a social recluse and aren't good at talking to women out of work.

Women won't fix your problems. They'll just add more to them. Social anxiety is easy to get rid of, you just need to spend quality time with people. It can be anyone, your family members, friends, Mom. Don't hold strangers to expectations, you'll never see them again.

You're right, but I can't take this loneliness any more. I need some kind of stimulation that only a woman can provide. This existence is hard living alone.

Dude, it's too late. What the fuck have you been doing with your life Holy Cow, Are you still a virgin?
How autistic are you actually

I've been going through a fucked up divorce, and trying to come out the other end with some sanity left and just moving on with my life. I'm okay looking and pretty well-educated and experienced in my career so those two things in my favor I guess.

Nvm I thought I could relate to you but I can't
>>35644728
I could probably find some way to relate to you even if you think I can't be a robot because I'm not a virgin or whatever. Do you play vidya? All of us are carrying a heavy burden through this shit life anyway.
