There's a universal cure, sold over-the-counter in any of the bars in Hong Kong, in a variety of palatable concoctions. Just ask for "alcohol".
There's an optimum dosage - just between the point at which you become more relaxed, and the point at which you start to lose your mind completely - you need to find out the best dosage for you, which for most people is between 2 to 4 "units".
Fortified this way, you can proceed to the second step: practice. As you talk to more foreigners, you will find you feel less afraid of them. Start out easily, by talking to the ones that look plain and lonely. Pretty soon you will find yourself being more discriminating and talking to ones you are attracted to, instead of ones you just feel safe next to. | |
