My trophy room is large and nearly full

[ExSAguy]

Got and kept a job, made friends. dealt with annoyances like water supplier people, rented my own place, smiled at girls, dealt with my bank manager, team leaded, not put my head down when I walk for ages, been to the pub, been on dates (disasterous yes but not the point) and several more I can't remember. Next on my list is more smiling at girls and maybe get my first girlfriend.

I think it's important for me to mention that I wasn't bragging about my achievements, mearly listing them. It's been a massive jump in confidence for me and writing down your successes helps immensely.

All successes in their own right - well done, Sir! Good luck with your remaining goals!

Nice one!

How did you get over your SA? Let us know, would be really useful info.

Good going, Guy! Keep up the good work!

That's fantastic news - congratulations. Didn't come across as bragging at all - just sharing the good news.

I know with SA I spend loads of time dwelling on what I've done badly and dismiss anything I've done well quickly.

How have you achieved all of this?

[ExSAguy]

A lot of it was basically forced upon me. I was house sharing with a junkie good for nothing and after he accused me of stealing his stuff I had to move out, my choice. It was terrifying. Things like water bills etc had to be done or I would go to court and I sure didn't want that. I'm now fairly pleased with the way I look. No oil painting but not bad at all. I just can't call myself ugly anymore. Plus it's impossible to be sacked from my current job. So all in all not too impressive.

I also should point out i'm not over the SA but it's reduced so much it feels like I don't have it. The girlfriend problem isn't SA. I just don't know what to say so I avoid it.
