What are the main areas in my life that I'd like to become more mature in? 

1. Career / finances - what can I do to work on this? 

- get a job and start to build some career capital, build up the bank account, and get out of credit card debt. This will also help with self esteem and will help you get out of your undesirable living situation (living at moms house)

2. Sexuality / intimacy - what can I do to work on this? 

- start hitting on girls that you see around the neighborhood. Just talk to them, say whatever you want. Just talk to them, just go up and talk, that's all there is to it. Who cares if you fail? 

- take a salsa dancing class to get more in touch with your sexuality. This will also help you in being better at leading and touching women, and it is a great skill to have in pickup

- continue to work out, get that physique that you want

- think about going out to some bars and clubs on weekends. Think about who you will take with you, try to start setting that up, plan things 

- work on improving your charisma in every situation, try to make people laugh, be charming, be happy, etc. 

- be more hug friendly and touchy, being more affectionate leads to intimacy
