So apparently there's a promotional party for a student apartment complex right across the street from me. I saw the flyer promoting the free food, music, etc.

So I'm like, Ok! I'll go check it out! Maybe a cool time to talk and meet with people.

I get there and I'm standing inside the welcome office. Right in front of me is the double door leading to the pool. Hmm... ok, so it's a pool party. I'm in jeans and flip-flops... funny how the mind uses ANY excuse to rationalize not pushing through your fears. I hear the music and see the beautiful people and BAM... not action, hesistation. Do you think I pushed through and starting saying hey to people?

I knew that if I did, EVERYBODY would see me and all I could think about was everyone staring at me coming in alone w/o a friend to talk to the bikini girls.

Of course, because of my hesitation. Here I sit. Instead of chatting it up with them, I'm feeling like a loser.

Ha ha... this sucks.

I just wanted to type it out because I want to go through the process to reason out why I should have just GONE FOR IT!

Let's say, worst case, I go out there and immediately begin chatting up the first people I see. Most likely, at the place I am now in my personal development, they're not going to immediately blow me out... but this is what made me hesitate is I'm thinking, well, what then? Say I talk with them for 3-5 minutes... then what? Move on to the next set? Out there in the open where everyone can see? People would have seen me just go from set to set. I mean, it was an open, not too many people out kind of atmosphere. Enough to be a great place to meet people, but also, enough to where ALL of them would be looking at me. The lone approacher going from set to set... or at least, that's what I played out in my mind.

What would an RSD Instructor do?

Please let me know what you think!
