Any ideas?

Day to day, I find myself being really timid. My self esteem feels shot too. Some of me thinks my social skills kinda disappeared since covid began, I don’t know.

I have a good job, im in the gym growing my physique, I take care of myself physically and am generally always working towards more in all aspects of my life. Being timid/ of low confidence is literally something that will hold me back as life goes on and I cannot allow that

I’m not sure what it is, but sometimes I feel like I’m living in the shadows. It feels like I constantly overthink everything. for what reason?

some poster used to have in his signature a top quote "He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man" something like that dont know it it helped.

its not an easy mantra to adopt but you get the message.

self explanatory i think. care little of what happens if you were an animal with your thought process you would starve to death because one failed attempt and you wont eat again off the memory.

be more beastmode in certain parts of your life, you doing right working on your physique and good job so just take more chances bro.

Your dreams
How tall are you OP? Just kidding.

I used to be super introverted but having kids forced me iut of my bubble. I feel like I don't have the luxury of being a shrinking violet anymore.

There is an old thread that answers this question and then some.

Take cold showers
Stop beating off
Have a healthy diet
Approach women regularly
Get into fights/take a martial art/get punched in the face/get used to confrontation
Listen to hardcore gangster rap regularly


Your welcome OP

:russ: i cant agree with the last two but the rest is potent especially a healthy diet therefore healthy mind and body.

You're a prisoner in your own mind and overanalyze most things. Start out by just saying hello to random people, especially attractive women. By doing this, you're training yourself to open your mouth without thinking too much. Gradually you will feel more comfortable starting conversations. A simple hello will sometimes spark conversation from the other person. Trust me this works.

Have you considered talking to a coach or a professional equipped to better provide you with the tools to handle your issue?

It’s your mindset. You can be swole, 6ft 10, etc but if you have a weak mindset you’ll be easily mentally dominated by men who are 5ft 1 and weigh 80lbs.

Start thinking you’re the shyt, practice, practice and more practice. Look people in the eye when talking to them, stand up for yourself etc. It’s those little things that’ll eventually add up.

Also learn how to meditate. That shyt will change your mindset.
