Isn't pickup just a role-playing game? I mean, actions taken within this game succeed or fail according to a hidden system of rules and guidelines. Right?

@Nahm actually I haven't seen that movie, but I'm glad my story sounds like a movie. Yes, I definitely like missing the bus ahahah @Cjaryo thank you for asking me such good questions. Yes, I have always done some sport since when I was a child , and even during the tough time, I’ve never quit. I did swimming and rowing, but now I’ve been going to the gym for a couple of years. I also meditate but not on a daily basis. Since I live in a noisy town (and family), I struggle to find some quite time. I have been following Leo for about three years. I like his style and how he explains. Yes, you nailed it. Now I’m reading, mainly, books about relationship, leadership and cognitive thinking. I’m studying economy at the university because I like math, statistics and how people makes choices. I also liked a lot Leo’s video on systems thinking.

I’m simply a guy who just wants to share with you his personal experience. Background: I’m 19, I’m a freshman in university and I am not native speaker so take it easy on me ahahah Before march 2017 I have always struggled with anxiety. I was afraid of feeling bad both at home and in public, I stubbornly checked my heartbeat and breath, I have had some panic attacks. I had very few friends and no girlfriend. I felt a boring undesirable person. The worst thing? I had never even kissed a girl !!! Then something happened. I would say “the great fortune”. On 17 march 2017 I missed the bus I used to take in front of the school , so I had to take another one, I got on the “number 1” bus. There, I saw a beautiful girl (who I’ll call Nina). I knew Nina a little during the middle school but then we haven’t seen each other for years. Should I have said hello? I really didn’t know what to do, but thankfully she said hello first. We talked a bit and I found out she didn’t use to take the “number 1” bus too. Three days later, on 20 march, the same scene happened: we both missed the usual bus and we met on the “number 1”. I was amazed! I mean, what were the chances of meeting her again? This time I expressed my wonder to her. She was surprised too, she said we could have seen again in the library, maybe, if I wanted to. Obviously YES. The library was out of my comfort zone, but I almost didn’t notice it, with her at my side. She was very kind and introduced me to her friends, girls mainly, who quickly became my friends too. Now, sometime, I still hang out with some of them. Then we decided to take part in a student union that is plenty of smart people and where I increased a lot my self-confidence and soft skill. After just a couple of months in there, the anxiety was gone. Then, the summer, this summer. It was simply awesome. I got my first kiss, not only one kiss, not only from one girl. And even better: not only a kiss...

I don't know what is authentic, but I know that I have been doing bodybuilding since 2012 and I feel far better now than before 2012. I like it and I'll keep doing it no matter what. I train alone because I don't want to get distracted. I focus on the exercise. I focus on doing it right. I go to the gym three time a week and when I'm on vacation I train with free body exercises. I definitely don't like laying still on the couch. Oh Guys, there are so many other benefits beyond a sculpted physique.

@Leo Gura have you ever thought about doing bodybuilding? I only mean adding to your training schedule some muscle strength exercises (bench press, pull-ups, squat...) I do it and I feel great. Thank you.

I don't want an absolute answer. Just an opinion based on your personal experience with this kind of social networks
