Worked through my obsessions a bit and let go of them. In the following weeks I asked three women out and got shot down each time instead of thinking about doing so for a month and being a creep.

Unironically, good on you. That's character progress and it takes a lot of courage and self-confidence to accept rejection in a mature way and keep trying regardless. For what it's worth I as an Internet stranger think we should help more people do the same sort of things.

Thank you, that was a long standing problem for me, and it got a lot easier to just put myself out there and see what would happen. Not just romantically but socially in general.

It served me well.
