Day 15 - 'Getting out of the comfort zone' Challenge
Day 15
Challenge: Approach 5 people, Don't ask any questions, turn all questions into statements.
Feeling before: It's getting easier as the challenges get harder. In other words, I simply give less fucks when it comes to approaching people. Im still maybe 20-30% nervous but not like before. It's been 2 weeks and I'm finally getting out of the pain period.
Kind of tough challenge that one. It's hard to turn questions into statements without sounding creepy. For example: I've been talking to a worker, a cute girl. I told her "you've been working here for exactly 3 years." She looks at me weird and say, "how the fuck do you know?"...
BTW instead of 5 people I approached 8 or 9. The more the better.
Feeling after: Proud of myself for accomplishing a somehow hard challenge. Not the hardest but not the easiest.

Day 14 - 'Getting out of the comfort zone' Challenge
Day 14
Challenge: Approach 5 girls, open with a compliment, then hop to a new topic, without using a transition.
Feeling after: I'm starting to feel like it's normal to talk to strangers now.
I approached 6 people and they were pretty cool with me.
Feeling after: I feel okay but bad at the same time 'cause this is getting too easy xD.

Day 13 - 'Getting out of the comfort zone' Challenge
Day 13
Challenge: Approach 10 women and do not break eye contact at all.If you are having trouble keeping girls there for too long, try it on workers.
Feeling before: Well I'm starting to get pretty relaxed already before the challenges. I still have some bitch butterflies but I feel that I'm leaving the "Pain period" (period when you absolutely don't want to go out and approach lol). It gets easier and that's the best feeling in the world.
Pretty funny one, this challenge. I was in a grocery store and I decided to talk to various kind of people, girls, old women, workers, men, etc. I approached a total of 12 persons. I would ask random things, be friendly, be random of course while maintaining a straight eye contact during the whole interaction.
Feeling after: Feeling great, although this one was easy. Ready for tomorrow.
