Greetings Red Pill Men,

Around a year ago, I was very confident and I was getting laid a decent amount and I had a positive outlook on life and what was in store for me. In my mind, I was the prize. This past year I have really involved myself in improving myself mentally and physically.

But it almost seems that no matter what I do, my confidence does not grow and my mental fortitude will not muster itself. I find myself lost and out of hope recently. A bit of personal info but my mother recently had a stroke.

She doesn’t remember who I am and she’s my only parent. I’m 19. It has hit me hard. I try to use it as motivation but I find myself back at square one pretty much with confidence. Anyone who has been at this position, or helped someone like me in my shoes, what helped you/them?

I want to be confident and talk to women again, but this hurdle for me has been difficult to climb. Any advice will help.
