listen breh i see that u already have the right idgaf mentality, u know what u need to do. now when u get in a situation like this, THINKING IS UR ENEMY. dont even listen to ur brain at that point, cuz negative and p*ssy ass thoughts will invade it. u gotta learn to walk forward and not back away, instinctively. and u gotta make it a habit. cuz everytime u p*ssy out again it will take u a step back. and this applies to anything in life really, when u get those butterflies in ur stomach, when u feel fear(and ur not in danger), u gotta make it a reflex to go towards that fear and not back away.
