TOPIC: Losing Virginity Success Story: If I can do it you can f**king do it

You're situation prior to going to Eastern Europe pretty much sums up how my life has been so far, i'm also from Scotland btw lol.
Funnily enough my self esteem was damaged even when i was 16, thinking i was not normal for my failure to attract girls and not realising i was actually supposed to be at the beginning of my journey lol.

This pretty much gave me the mentality that i was already rejected before i even opening my mouth when approaching girls. Being shy and an introvert it became so bad that sometimes i actually was shaking and other times the words just didn't come out lol (the hotter the girl, the worse it became).

In my head i started blaming every aspect of myself on my failures to get girls and gave up, which made the attitude in my head get destroyed to the point that i just thought there was no chance of attracting girls,making me become more introverted than i was before to the point of barely going outdoors except from when i'm heading to university. i also suffer from porn addiction due to lack of romantic connections, as well as feeling depressed at times, which led me to breaking away from the few friends i had and getting addicted to mmo video games for the past 3 years, which has pretty much killed the little social life i had.

Now that i'm turning 24 this year and after reading GLL, i'm going to try and change my ways after realising how unsatisfied i've been in life for the past 8 years and realising it's pretty much my own fault and it can't continue for the rest of my life. It's comforting to see that someone else was in a relatively similar position as myself and was able to change their ways as well as achieve their goals on this front.
I now realise that trying and failing is better than not trying and failing, because at least there is a chance for success.

Cheers for this post, wish i had found it 2 years ago .

24? That sounds more or less like the age I was when I started with GLL. I can’t believe it has been that long ago actually!

It is a shame I didn’t make a back-up of my three part post because ever since the forum format changed a while ago there has been this problem with ‘missing posts.’ And part 2 seems to have been a victim of this…

I feel you man - what you are going through sounds very familiar and it can be really tough to figure out where to get started. It is amazing how life quality can be good in some fields but when the woman side of things is lacking, nothing else seems to matter and the negativity spreads to every aspect of your existence. Sounds like you’ve decided to take action though and that is commendable. Become dedicated to achieving your goals without excuses and try and have a long-term game plan and in a couple of years or more life will be very different for you Andrew.
