Coming to you from the Center for Social Confidence in Portland, Oregon,

Welcome to Shrink for the Shy Guy, helping men everywhere go from social anxiety to social domination

with your host, Dr. Raziz.

Hey, welcome to today's episode of the show.

Yes, let's do this.

I want to share something with you today that I think can really help you on your path

and to greater confidence

and really help you let go of fear, self-doubt, social anxiety

and also see just how inwardly pathetic I really am.

I say that in jest. I'm not pathetic. I'm awesome. And so are you. And I love myself. And I sure

hope you do too. And if you don't, don't worry, there's still hope. You can. It's possible for you to get completely on your own side in fact

that's what this episode is really about it's called now how to lose badly and i'm going to share a

story of me losing quite badly but how we can stay on our own side no matter what and if you listen

to any of these other episodes of the show

or see my YouTube videos or read any of my books or anything, you know what a big believer I am

in being on our own side. And self-acceptance, self-compassion, these are different ways of saying

are pointing to a similar thing, which is changing your relationship with yourself. And when our

relationship with ourselves is toxic, critical, we're on our own side, sort of, but then we flip and we

turn on ourselves, and then we start to attack ourselves or berate ourselves.

And it could be really obvious.

Like you're just, you know, we've all had those experiences where you're just like, idiot,

ugh, stupid.
