I’m 22 now and I have to say, my self-image has stayed the same since high school. I’ve recently been trying to improve my grades at college, maintain consistency with lifting + diet, but how I see myself does not changes. Over the past year, I’ve had about half a dozen to a dozen opportunities to escalate with hot women at clubs, edm shows, etc. I never did.

When they get close, lock eyes with me, back their ass into my personal space, I get scared. Back in high-school, I was called a creep in-person and online all the time. So when that fine ass girl starts giving me those IOIs at the club, I shy away because showing interest would get me shamed. I still see myself as that skinny underdeveloped creep even after I’ve worked on my physique for 3+ years.
