I highly advise against gaming where you live, work, or relax. Those interactions have a way of polluting the space and you don't want a crazy bitch who can literally walk one floor down to see you.

With that said, here's your answer:

Confidence comes from success, success comes from repeated failure.

You're gonna get your cock smashed before you develop the confidence to talk to women without fear. Personally, I'm a god damn monster in 2022. Between 2000-2018, I got my dick dragged.

Every man you know who is successful with women will tell you what I'm about to tell you: step up to bat and learn from your strikeouts. Additionally, I don't know about the work you've put in on yourself so I can't speak to that, but if you're not improving your improvables, you're preparing to get out-gamed by someone who is.

Your appearance is directly correlated with the amount of confidence you have. When I had werid teeth and was skinny i had no confidence.

Then I got braces treatment,hit the gym and now i look really good,have a fit physique and I'm pretty confident. So first work on your appearance.

Also realise that nobody really will remember you even if you fuck up ...be casual. If they're as hot as you say then they've been approached by literally 100s of men out which 90 must have been awkward. Even a bit of confidence from your side will go a long way.

Lastly....... they're humans just like you. Stop keeping them on a pedestal and go for it!

Gradually exposing yourself to what makes you anxious is what reduces it. Talk to more people. Start slow, just make small talk or exchange more words with people you meet. Girls, guys, old women, cashiers, etc.

Then you start refining and working on game.

At the same time, lift, eat clean, fix style and grooming; this is the baseline of self improvement.

Remember not to shit where you eat. If you are struggling with basic conversation and have a hard time flirting, you should hold off on the introduction to these girls until you are more confident.

Sometimes treating girls like wallpaper for a while builds more interest than anything you might say.

I really struggled with this myself. Best answer is just do it. However if that doesn’t work, there’s a book I read psycho cybernetics where the author gives a positive visualization exercise. The idea is, your mind can’t distinguish between real and vividly imagined experiences. So vividly imagine how it would feel to be around your neighbors and then imagine yourself feeling and acting how you want to. I spent 30 minutes a day doing that for a week and my approach anxiety was drastically improved.

I know it sounds like BS, but anecdotally it worked well for me and I had a bad case.

Throw out compliments to random women. Make their day and then walk away.

So you think theyre going to fuck their depressed socially awkward neighbor downstairs over maybe fucking any extroverted Chad at the club or at work?

Not to be negative, but you need to think about the reality of your situation. You need to fix your social rust ASAP and then once you feel normal/confident again then you can approach those ladies. Because youre setting yourself up to fail.

If you do get one foot inside their door then maybe it will be the friendzone or something, women dont fuck their neighbors generally.
