Get over it pussy

>>42579224
I haven't been able to. Been seeing a clinical psychologist for it this year trying to get over it.

I mind just sees females as a threat, pure n simple.

It's become so bad that I even feel this way towards my sisters and mother now-days.

>females as a threat

Female in this age range is nothing to write home about really. You are better off just lifting and earning money to do whatever you like every day.

Because my Dad and Uncle were Olympic level athletes. I was clumsy and terrible at sports. Im not going to let myself get soft and fat like everyone else. That isnt any way to live.

My brother came out as being trans and is now wanting to be a woman. The whole experience really fucked with me and made me question what it means to be masculine and a man. I've always been skelly mode thin and decided that I was no longer going to wish to be bigger, instead I was going to put in the effort to get change myself. I lift for myself and my desire to push my body to its full potential.

When I went into the doctor for a refill on anti depressants and weighed in at 300lbs, while being 5'7" turbo manlet. It was a turning point a moment I realized I had two options, stay the way I was and get worse or finally commit to working out instead of the usual half assed attempts I'd done before. Read the sticky a couple times, started dieting then exercising and haven't looked back since.

You have emotional scars that have hardened you and created the mental and social equivalent of a shell for you. If you want to be successful with girls you have to rid yourself of the scars by forgiving the girls who mistreated you in the past, or they will always haunt you and you will never be able to trust ANY woman.

Read chapter 10 of Psycho-Cybernetics by Max Maltz for more details on how to do so, its a great self-improvement book.

A one way trip to health and aesthetics is a great thing
