you have to realize how much of a placebo everything is. It is all in your head. It is not about jerking off 10x before talking to a girl, or drinking, or getting yourself to 8% BF...if you need to do all of that beforehand, then you have allready lost. By taking all of those steps beforehand, you are treating social interaction as if it is something on a pedestal that is above you that you need to prepare for...don't EVER place it on a pedestal, b/c the girl that you will instinctively place on a pedestal is NOT perfect..she is human just like you, and you have to realize that in order to get in the right frame of mind.
Think of thoughts and times that get you naturally at ease. Hang out w/ people that make you feel good about yourself instead of inferior. Once you have the right frame of mind, and are naturally at ease, the confidence will come and you won't need to worry about all the bullshit. Heck..once you are in the right frame of mind..getting to a low BF% and staying there will come more naturally.
Everything is in your head...trust me.
