Anyone here became more confident after gaining your goal muscles from the gym?
I'm not at my goal but I am way more confident.
Yes. Almost in a narcissistic way though, but it will happen

I sort of have my goal muscles, I'm sitting at about 20% bf after a bulk.
I was fat going through puberty but so I never really got to see my face develop but I should have nice jawline aesthetics after a cut.
I guess I'll be more confident after face gains...

I'm a beta lord with next to zero confidence. Will I actually gain cofidence? It's my greatest wish.

it wore off after the first 8 months
>>42522263
Yes and no.
I generally think more highly of myself/ feel proud that I've stuck with it and am improving myself.
But at the end of the day I realize lifting weights and getting "jacked" is a hobby, and plenty of people don't give a shit about your hobbies.
Its like collecting every single trading card in the world; you will probably have a sense of accomplishment but only a few people here and there will give a shit.
So yes i feel more confident, but will it make me better in a social situation? most of the time no.

Yes I used to be an autistic neet loser but as soon as I got 18 inch biceps I became a confident alpha with a phd

Actually I'm less confident and get laid less
I've done all this work that any rejection would be so crippling I wouldn't know what to do
Most of my hookups now are with sluts or girls who pursue me, whereas I used to be charming and pursue women above my league
Works great for me.
god forbid you should feel confident once you start doing something that objectively makes you a better person

kind of sad but it makes sense
>>42522263
Well i´m 0.7 inch off my starting goal of 15 inch arms(No fatceps) So i hope that i can gain a bit of confident wearing a t-shirt at that point.

since i started lifting i summoned the guts to ask a girl out and that would never have happened before so i'd say yes
haven't really seen any physical changes yet so i'd say i've made some social gains thanks to lifting

How is that sad? You know what the guy is implying right?
