I feel relatively confident in most social situations EXCEPT around pretty girls. Around them I just get needy. Even if I truly am just trying to be friends with her to boost my social circle, the neediness comes out subconsciously.
I know neediness is probably THE fastest way to drive away girls and I can see it in myself when Im around them. I try to play it cool but it still leaks out.
I talked to other guys and a few girls and they say I'm putting girls on a pedestal. I know I am doing this and am exuding neediness, but even though I know I'm still doing it!
My strategy now is to:
1. try to desensitize myself and hope that by constant exposure to pretty girls will cure me of this.
2. talking to random strangers to erase my fear of rejection
3. record myself speaking on camera regularly
Any suggestions on curing this neediness I am experiencing? Am I going about fixing it the right way?
