It can do. I'd advise getting lean and then building muscle rather than remaining chubby (if you are) and then getting lean later. That way you'll actually see and appreciate results as they come.

It's all a bit tricky really. You can get ripped and feel great or, if you're truly fundamentally low self-esteem, you'll just wish you were more ripped and be just about as miserable.

it helps a bit
but speaking from personal experience I can tell you that while your own confidence and body image will improve slightly, the main effect is that you start noticing how fucking small and out of shape everybody else is
I would advise taking up lifting regardless. its actually quite a fun hobby, and a very good way to unwind after a long day

it does after you've been lifting for a few months
but the confidence boost only lasts for a few months too, after a couple of years you'll be just as depressed as ever

It helps a bit.

yes when you look better, you feel better about yourself, and thus more sure of yourself

If you were an autistic piece of shit before, you'll still be one afterwards.
