32m just starting to become more comfortable around women. I’ve just been telling myself to start small and ask how one is doing in passing. Just curious to hear from those with more experience and success with women through trial and error

    shut up and listen.

    That’s pretty shitty advice honestly. Confidence in speaking to other people is vastly different to different people but know a subject or are passionate enough about it to geek out about it, confidence is manifested often inspite of other insecurities.

    Fear and insecurity aren’t always the same thing, but they both seem to be at the top of situations that people lack confidence in.

    Arrogance and ego often cause an over abundance of confidence.

    It’s also a phrase that is a really lazy parroting of a modernist virtue signaling because it doesnt provide any real understanding of what real issue it solves or attempts to navigate.
