    So I've heard about "superpowers", one of them being not being so socially awkward. Well its only 4 days since the last imcident so i havent quite aquired them yet. Are there any tips for overcoming this while I'm stuck in the "pre-powers" state?

    Don't worry about, push the thought of social awkwardness out of your head whenever it enters your mind because it's all in your head. Practice practice practice!

    ^Exactly, it will go away. Trust me. I used to be a socially awkward person until I started nofap. This really helps, and we all believe in you. good luck!

    Just keep with it. It eventually fades away, much like many the other negative qualities we've developed over the years

    These guys are all right! It does fade over time i am only 18 days in and i'm seeing definite differences.
    For instance last night i went to a party that had two girls that i have had a particular interest in for some time. To make a long story short before the end of the party both of the girls initiated contact and expressed mutual interest in me. Im not the most confident person by any means so the same can and will definitely happen to you as girls realize that you are taking control of your life by force through sheer will power and effort!

    Keep trying it definitely gets better!!

    I would honestly say that it might be best not to give this too much thought? It's a bit like not being able to find something because your too busy looking?

    In Chinese P'u 'the un-carved block' which means 'natural' as in not been chipped away at and conditioned (domesticated) by societies demands, norms and 'expectations'.

    AA Milne, the writer of the Winnie the Pooh books (seriously!!) knew this and those original books are full of pure unadulterated wisdom. Like this...

    Winnie-the-Pooh, Rabbit, and Piglet got lost in the woods? Again and again, they tried to find their way home, but every time they set off they kept returning them to their point of departure, to "a small sand-pit on the top of the Forest." Pooh Bear became "rather tired of that sand-pit, and suspected it of following them about, because whichever direction they started in, they always ended up at it."

    Pooh finally realized that the attempts to escape from the sand-pit were failing precisely because he and his friends were attempting to be somewhere other than where they are. If setting out in search of his home resulted in their returning to their starting point in the woods, then, he reasoned, going in search of the sand-pit should allow them to find their way home. The reversal of intent worked, and soon the trio achieved arrived home.

    Please try these and see if they help?
