I started working out a few months back, and I'm making some alright noob gains. Problem is, I'm also becoming a bit of a douchebag because of it.
>constantly feel up my biceps and pecs throughout the day
>check myself out in the mirror with my shirt off (1hr/day all added up)
>whole body language radiates cockiness/overconfidence (not in a good way)
and in general I'm turning into a vain douchebag fuck.
Anyone have experience with this? Anyone know how to stop?
The worst thing is, I'm not even that muscular, it just seems like it in contrast, because I started out as a complete weakling.
I don't want to end up like Jeff Seid except with way less muscle mass

I think you'll probably get used to it. Eventually your noob gains will run out, and your overconfidence will go with it.

>working out for a few months
>think you are hot shit
Sounds like everyone else on this board
>>42605587
just remember that deep down you're still the scumbag you were before you started lifting. and nobody else cares about your gains. if they say something to you about looking more muscular, then they are just making fun of you for being a try-hard faggot ;_;

Don't worry. Pretty soon you'll contract muscle dysmorphia and you won't have this problem anymore.

yeah that's the problem, i don't want to think i'm hot shit

This is a good problem. You should embrace this habit. Fuck em. Lift heavier, let the douchebaggery flow through you. Others are jealous of your gains, they could never compare to how great you are becoming.

Dude, you just started working out and you're dyel I bet. This will all wear off in a couple months then you'll think you're dyel and look like shit. Trust me, everyone thought they were hot shit at first
