hey snake. hey. Though you're less Tydeus and more Snake. And she's less of a whore and more a young, wholesome individual.

As far as I am aware, Cornelius J. Fifthfiend III works in a business job, drives a... Honda Civic... I think. He is the same race as M. Night. Since no pictures of such a man exist, I'll have to find a suitable substitute:

Which, Snake, if you're still paying attention, has an example of the best way to pick up girls.

I'm afraid I can't offer much more help. My baseline self-esteem rating consistently ranked at "zilch" for most of my life. I swear, if I was any more of a wallflower, people would check what side of a tree I was on to determine north.

We need a new you, plus some positive proof that you're not just a goof!

So let's stand by the side and assess the situation here:

Someone pretty came over and batted her eyelashes at SS, and he didn't notice.

...Is that it? Is that all? 'Cause you could look at the second part there, where it says "SS didn't notice," OR you could look at the first part where "Someone pretty came over and batted her eyelashes." 'Cause it seems to me that if you're getting looks, than that's a good thing that should totally improve your self confidence.

But the way the first post reads, you might just want to check yourself into a clinic or something, not for obliviousness, but because you're being so hard on yourself you're pushing it into drama-queen territory.

My suggestion for self confidence: Don't take yourself so seriously. It seems counterintuitive, but really, when you're not taking yourself seriously trying to be SUPERCOOLBUSINESSLAWYERMANDUDE, and just, "LAWYERMANDUDE", it's a lot easier to fulfill your expectations of yourself, and then suddenly, since you don't have huge shoes you're setting yourself up to fill, you don't worry about filling them.

If that makes sense.

Edit: You're the lawyermandude, right?

Double edit: Screw you forums for not making my edit look like I edited the post, and making me seem crazy.

Triple edit: Seriously, I'm not crazy.
