EACH INTERACTION IS JUST PRACTICE FOR THE NEXT!!

There is no such thing as failure.  We learn from mistakes.  Each time we get better and better.  If you have a phobia of going up and talking to people.  Then get out there and get rejected!  Get rejected again and again and again and again until you just look yourself in the mirror and say, "WOW!  I'm still alive!  Those unfamiliar people who rejected me all those times didn't kill me after all."  I've been rejected PLENTY of times and I'm more proud than ashamed to admit it.  Sometimes I'll get in this mode where I just don't give a SH** what happens and many times that vibe comes off of me and I become more attractive to people.    Remember this quote from Arnold Schwarzenegger, "If you can go through the pain period, you make it to be champion.  If you can't, then forget it.  What makes a man is when he has the guts to just go in and say, 'I don't care what happens.'"
