OG-- Our posts must have passed on the internet superhighway. I just posted a response to your snoring advice on my Newcomers thread.
What's funny is that I have always been outwardly self-assured--eventhough I wasn't the hottest dude on the block. However, it was always the internal dialogue that made me shy. I'm a complete extrovert but my mind is rampant with self-doubt...so, at times, I have a tendency to be shy...it's just that most people don't believe me.
Again, I'm using C to help over-come the consistently negative dialogue in my head. It affects me in so many different ways...even in the bedroom. So, the quicker I learn to turn-it off (I am working on the STOP thinking technique--with some success)...the better my PMA will become.
