Always end up super anxious when I don't get a definite response. Example, I cold approached a very good looking girl, who I previously would have frozen over and bitched out, and got her number. I messaged her and got no response. I then got super anxious and ended up triple texting. It's not an exclusively obsessed with her or even a rejection as I already have 3 other girls currently interested in me but I fixate over the girls that flake. (For girls that explicitly reject me, I move past it quickly). How do I overcome this?

I want to ask the barista for her number but I always freeze, walk away, play it off, and justify in my head later why I didn't - how do I overcome this?

Hey guys, so I just heard a fucking crack/crunch in my neck after rolling today, and I got paired up with some 6'4" prolly 230 lbs dude, and we were practicing a move where he rolls and throws me off of him, and I heard a crunch in my neck and it made me so fucking angry. (The guy rolled full fucking bodyweight off of me and put pressure on my neck unintentionally and I'm actually so fucking pissed and furious at the coach's pairing) Dude's definitely a lot stronger than me but is it a bad sign if some partners have a lack of self-control or intelligence in what they're doing in their moves? I'm absolutely fucking furious coz I feel like I could've been paralyzed by this dumbass's lack of intelligence that I'm completely new to BJJ, and super green. Am I overreacting or what? (This is my 4th day at this MMA Gym)

Hey guys, there's something I've been struggling with recently in terms of my Mindset regarding Combat, Violence, and Warfare/Warrior Lifestyle. So for context, I just recently converted to Christianity, I became a Christian last month on July 22nd, due to a personal decision and wanted to take my righteousness to the next level. And while I still absolutely LOVE being a Warrior and pursuing the Arts of Combat Mastery/Lethality, I still have so much shame, guilt, and worry regarding any sort of aggression I have, any level of Savagery or "Shadow" I am very well aware I have within myself. My Faith tells me to be peaceful, loving, kind, compassionate and "turn the other cheek" which lowkey kinda irks me sometimes and makes me annoyed. I'm well aware in Warfare, Combat in general, and just overall Athletics/Sports, there's various levels of Extreme Dominance, Savagery, Elements of Deception, "Expression of the Shadow" that are just unavoidable and it still sometimes hurts my conscience to dive into because I made a vow to myself to pursue the path of Righteousness, Holiness, and loving/caring for other people. What are y'alls thoughts on some of this? It's really been eating up at me and idk if it's just Church's being cult af shaming people, or this world wanting us Men to be pacifists or weaklings which I absolutely hard Reject and disagree with.. I'd love to get a secular or non-secular take on this. I don't wanna be tempted to leave or reject my Faith just because some things and actions/lifestyle changes don't align.
