Im thinking getting in better shape is a good start.
Lately when I’m mad or sad I just play an album and try to do several sets of push ups during a song. Walk a bit to give my arms short break and back at it.

Eventually a whole body workout/routine and eventually the gym. Maybe I lack in the emotional intelligence apartment.

Honestly, having friends and loved ones that you know care about you and down for you

it makes random people opinions of you irrelevant

Get coaching or at least talk to someone that will be present and hold you accountable, words on a screen will not help.

I’ve done some last week, really pulled me out my depression. I’m just trying to focus on regaining my confidence back.

I’ve done stand up 4 times lol.
I just can’t do cold approaching, I feel so ugly. Even when I get a cutie via work or app. It crumbles soon enough because I’m a game less simp. No matter how cute they think I am. fukk.

Here's a part of your problem...you already sound defeated. You'll never win if you already believe you lost...it's impossible

I know its cliche, but when you're cold approaching, its more about numbers. But I think the first rule is that you shouldn't be cold approaching if you can't handle the possibility of rejection. Its part of the game. 2nd part, would be anything that makes you feel self concious about talking to women, you should solve. Not because girls care about it, but because you care about it and its messing with your confidence.

And 1 other thing is, don't necessarily expect not to be nervous when approaching women. I always get nervous, but I've converted that feeling to being akin to standing in line before getting on a roller coaster.

Same as everybody else. Nobody here is the main character.

simple
train yourself not to care
because if you don't care, you can't get hurt

for example, i used to care about sports and sh!t, rooting for n!ggas like mayweather
when in reality guys like that don't care about you
so i just care about myself and what REALLY affects me

so yeah, DON'T CARE
i know that might seem hard to do
n!ggas on here be caring about anime and wrestling storylines, all invested and sh!t

sh!t is sad

These posts go hand in hand. A lot of people have no self awareness. They make things a bigger deal than it actually is, thats the problem. If you ask OP or a lot of people what they're depressed about, it's usually bullshyt in the grand scheme of things. But their brain is wired to harp and dwell on those things. It sucks to be them.
