With his self-esteem fried to cinders, he limped away.

You can probably relate. I know I can. I’ve been there about a billion times. Heck! - I used to be so scared to approach an attractive woman that I’d imagine her steamrolling me, leaving me for road kill in her wake. How cool is that - I’d disqualify myself without even talking to her.

This was the basis of Neuro Lingusitic Programming and the patterns borne of those studies formed the foundation of modern day NLP techniques.
