The small favor

Ask a stranger to take your photo. Then ask for one more "with better vibes."

Free. Nothing to download. Always take no for an answer.

Why it works

Small asks teach you that requests are normal, not impositions.

You ask a stranger to take your photo, thank them, then ask for one more take with a sillier pose. Two asks, one person.

They say they're busy. Say "no worries" and ask someone else. A no to a small ask is still a complete rep.

1
Before
Rate your nerves from 1 (panicking) to 10 (at ease), and guess how it will go.
2
Do it
Play the card. A no counts. A bail counts. Walking up to the moment is most of the rep.
3
After
Rate your nerves again and say what actually happened. The gap between the two numbers is the workout.

1

The small favor

Ask a stranger to take your photo. Then ask for one more "with better vibes."
2

The discount probe

Ask with a smile: "Any chance there's a deal on this tonight?" Take the no gracefully.
3

Engineered no

Make a request you expect to be refused. The goal is collecting the no calmly.
4

The borrowed hat

Ask a stranger to lend you an accessory for one photo. Sweeten the deal however you like.
5

The guest list

Charm your way into something: a reserved section, a rooftop, a photo with the band. Charm only.

The worst case is a stranger saying no, and you'll live.
