This interaction of Okarun not to interact with a girl who really talked with him literally a day before, is something I used to do or maybe even now.
So what is this behaviour? Introversion? Social anxiety? Shyness?
I enjoyed the scene because it's relatable but also it got me thinking why do I react the same way.
Did you relate to this scene? Did you grow-out of that phase of ignoring girls unless they interact?
(I know all of this little cringe to make a post upon, I'll delete this if it doesn't fit here)
Thanks for this. I'm gonna take inspiration from you and keep trying to make my social interactions better.
Good on you. Something that I feel helped me is using the skinner box reward tricks and things that corporations use to get us hooked (fake points, etc). They use it to keep us engaged, so I tried to use reward systems to keep me going. For example, I can have a cheat meal, if I lose x lbs. If I talk to this person or this group, I will buy myself something or do this activity that I want to do, but have been putting off. You can get a calendar and mark down days that you worked on yourself (any info about that day that was unique? Write it on the calendar). Looking back after a month and seeing the days add up, makes you want to keep going.
Plan > execute > evaluate > make needed changes and try again.
Remember you are growing and adding skill sets to your current ones. Each day you do this you can get a little bit better. After a while of doing that, you will be amazed at how much you can change yourself.
Take rest days too. We need little breaks too. It's like bashing your head against a wall when you're trying to down a Dark Souls boss. Then you quit and take a nap. Come back and 1 shot them.
