>low confidence because unhealthy fat fuck
>lift and get fit
>doesn't fix low confidence, just changes its form
>now have low confidence because of bad social skills (not sure, maybe i am just shy)

nevertheless i feel very confident where ever i walk, as long as i don't have to open my mouth... girls even check me out sometimes when passing

>Bad social skills

Practice helps that. I always accept whenever anyone invites me out now. Even if I know it will be awkward I still go just to practice talking. I spent 4 years at Uni in my room alone, it's a wonder I still remember the English language.

I have a fucking retarded friend who did this. 24 year old incel who would fall in love with any girl who talked to him, then get suicidal whenever he drank.
>attempt suicide
>fail
>start antidepressants
>quit antidepressants
>attempt suicide again
Honestly I don't even give a shit about him anymore, I've tried but at this point he has to live (or die) by his own retarded choices.

going to therapy again for them sweet mental gains which hopefully translate to gains in other areas of my life

Regaining is easier than gaining the first time. You have no excuse.

>>42117222
You have just forgotten how to chat with people, the more you socialize the easier it gets get yourself out there.

Anger is truly the best lifting emotion.

>>42117530
Yeah I know, still feel like shit when I remember how I used to look

>>42117337

Your muscles kind of just go back into place if you start lifting again. It wonn't take long to look like you did as it did the first time.

t. person who did exactly what you did

>>42117202
DELET

>>42117334
Is his name cory

>>42117639
how long did it take you to get back?

>>42117119
>lift to get fit
>sprained wrist
>can't lift
>can only do some ab workout and plaks
>get angry

Eventually you realize that it isn't achieving certain phisique but rather the act of exercising, and you accept it is a requirement to exercise regularly to keep a good mental health.

It really takes a time to get used to the fact that exercising in general isn't really 'optional'.

for me it's more like
>lift because i'm angry
>still lift because i'm still angry
