I’m one of those weirdos who actually likes the gym.

There’s something about seeing progress that keeps me going.

Confidence works like this too. It builds each time you beat anxiety. 

And while we think that growth starts with motivation, motivation actually starts with a PUSH.

Cheat Code: Push First

Social anxiety loves to tell a lie.

When you’re motivated, then you can push yourself. 

But the truth is the reverse.

When you push yourself, your growth will give you motivation

So when you’re comfortable with smaller wins, pick ONE way to push:

  • People: 1:1 → small groups → crowd
  • Uncertainty: less planning & rehearsing
  • Stakes: Texting → Phone Call → In Person
  • Hours: Stay longer in fearful situations

Do this for a while and you’ll notice a nice shift:

  • What was impossible becomes hard
  • What was hard becomes manageable
  • What was manageable becomes easy

That’s your confidence muscle growing.

Win of the Week

“I used to try and impress women. But I pushed myself to go on dates and just be myself. 

It turns out that what I took for granted were actually rare qualities they appreciated. Even my simple, dorky look came off as cute. 

I also learned that many of them struggle to connect just like I do. They weren’t out to ‘date the nerd and make fun of him’ like I always feared.”
