so i went to the bar, sat there and socialized with people, danced with 3 different girls, rode a mechanical bull, went out for pizza with two girls afterwards. both of them wanted me to be their roomate, haha.
the techniqued worked quite well. it didnt turn me into a social butterfly, but it kept me from getting all anxious and wanting to get out of there. I was just being an observer, observing the people, observing the anxiety and just acccepting everything as is. so i was very calm and cool.
