I'm a beautiful woman, most men would say "yes" to me but I'll never know until I stop being shy, low self-esteem, awkward, aloof. How to get from "Whoa I'm attracted to him," to sealing the deal?

    Specifically CBT. Have a therapist tail you in the street as you interact with people, and then compare your impressions with theirs

      I genuinely don’t know the meaning of this shortening and google did not help. What does it stand for?

        I’m guessing they mean Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

        Yes, cognitive behavioral therapy, my most recent workshop they call it “dialectical behavioral therapy.”

          Those are not the same - DBT is more intense than CBT

      Have a therapist tail me in the street as I interact with people? That sounds like a really expensive therapist. But oh how often I wish I had a therapist with me all day every day to work with me through every glitchy moment.

        I did at university for my own anxiety issues, and it was free as part of student counselling. Probably not anymore, given the world and all…
