Don't forget to say "bro" a lot.

Are you planning to move? I have you talked to North Dakota State here in Fargo?

Have not. I pretty much figured take three shots of applying as a transfer, let the options shake out as they may, then decide what to do. Unless I'm wowed by what Minnesota is selling I'll probably be at MSU for three semesters.


Full disclosure here; I actually do say this out of habit after I started saying it in jest to acquaintences of mine who actually pride themselves on being Affliction clad, just-got-back-from-the-gym-gettin'-Swoll, asshats who refer to each other as "brah". Most of the time I'm mocking people when I use it but now I actually use it in conversation with friends. My German great-grandmother who had to teach herself English is probably rolling in her grave for the fact I willingly use horrible versions of the language... That and me being chickenshit.

Go watch like 3 movies by yourself, spaced out weeks of course. That will slowly build your confidence. Then start to go out to restaurants by yourself and after that nothing will phase you, and you can get laid whenever you want. Guaranteed to work.

Surprised there isn't a 1-800 number attached to this advice.. Or an ad for a 7 disc DVD series which includes a regimen in solo-restaurant and moving going that I am in fact taking part in said 7 disc DVD series.

Strap a dildo to your head. Go out in public. Deal with the fact that you aren't that important.

One of those two things takes a lot of determination.. but still pretty much the wisest advice yet dispensed. Rep sir.

Wisest advice from the troll of all trolls? You'll never be cured. My advice is actually real and it works. I hope you never go out again. :harumph:

Troll of all trolls? didn't know Demon was a GoChiefs mult.

Screw "going out". Go do something else. Go to the gym. Lift weights. Play some pickup basketball. Play video games.

Get out there and mingle, Mr. Discuss Thrower.

You never know what unexpected joys might await you.

Pretend you are a secret agent, or something. Lots of times, I will pretend I am a secret agent in order to take the stress out of social situations. You can give yourself a different number every night to keep things fresh.

Problem solved: hunger became factor. Brewery near hotel; within walking distance. Tequila might be imbibed.

tl;dr version: buck the haters!

Drink BEFORE you go out. Whenever I had anxiety about meeting people I barely knew at a bar, I'd have a few drinks beforehand. Just don't get so sloppy you can't drive.

Shoot pool.
