Thanks for the full, thought out response !
I'm not advocating for "mind totally over matter". I care about both things.
My argument looked like mind > matter, but I find it to be both way. They influence eachother.
My point in showing those examples is giving a general picture on how I felt. Not in particular situations which I would need the "experience" for
You said my mates might be more conditioned to talk to strangers. I doubt it. Adding to the years of sales / waiter jobs, I have a very large family, my father is a very social person and was an entrepeneur, used to get me to work with him and so I would meet lots of people.
The mind can in a substanstial amount influence action. That's what my experience strongly tells me.
What I tried to describe is more like a "filter" in which every action you take, the way you experience the world goes throught. For the longest time I looked at the world throught the lens of fear.
It's more like a mental fog. Which I can properly recognize now, because I feel lighter, clearer, more lucid.
Nathaniel Branden's blueprint is helping me really much without a doubt.
Other content on self esteem is a joke.
It isn't an approach to target "certain" insecurities. It's a look at self-concept as a whole, and it's influence on our life. I know from the title it looks like another one of these books that told you to "visualize" , to say affirmations. I would have dropped it right there and then if it were like this.
If you want, you can read the first 2-3 chapters of the book, as he describes the issue much better than I ever could. Especially what high self esteem vs low self esteem look like, the chapter on consciousness, and the cases of his patients.
No doubt it is helping me very much, and I will continue to do it while taking action in the meanwhile !
Again, I want to also take care of the body. And I do. I do what I can within reasonable terms to increase testosterone and key hormones and health. Both the mental and physical side have their limits.
Why not take care of both ?
Also, what's the point in having objective success if you don't even feel good about it and can't enjoy it ?
