So, like

When you meet someone new, or you're introduced to someone, or whatever

What percentage of your thought process is framed in terms of how you're eventually going to disappoint them by not being interesting or cool enough for them

[(Anonymous)]

I've dealt with health and money issues for so long, it kind of beat that out of me. I've been about surviving more than impressing, and it shows a lot of the time. I can't make myself meet certain arbitrary things that might impress people. They have to take me as I am. It's uncomfortable sometimes, but in other ways it takes care of some things right up front.

All of them

A lot, but not as much as it has in the past. It used to be 75-90%. Now it's 35% tops.

I have convinced myself that I am a pretty cool person on my own terms, which is a long and arduous process. This helps reduce the neurotic response; I can reframe it as getting excited, like "oh wow I want to do x y z with this new friend", because I'm more secure in my personality, goals and interests.

But I still get nervous, especially if they're cute.

Does that make sense?

-90%

For me it's usually skepticism over whether they'll disappoint me or be annoying.

[(Anonymous)]

none

Any percentage would be an improvement.
My subconscious is already working on to how to interact with them as little or as superficially as possible. Avoids the whole possibility.
