I'm 21. Throughout my teens i had bad depression that bedridden me until 20. Didn't do much besides sitting in bed and denying every social opportunity I had. I was basically locked in my room, barely taking showers and sometimes going to highschool which made me lose on important social skills.
I remained in that state and somehow got a girlfriend that was the first girl put my dick into(got extreme oneitis ha! who would've thought), only to get dumped after a few months and see her on tinder the next day (lmao no surprise here, I showed weakness and neediness and she left) going through my first 'heartbreak'.
This was the tipping point for me and since then I started lifting and eating right like my life depended on it, getting leaner and more muscular. Started buying tighter t-shirts that show off my guns, cleaned up my acne with acutane and got a buzzcut that I'm rocking well with the cool scar I have on my face coming from greasy long hair with a fringe and being more confident wearing accesories like rings or chains. I started noticing girls give me IOIs and i even went on a tinder date whereas before I'd get no matches.
The difficult thing for me is that now I still feel like the ugly skinny fat dude with bad acne that was getting anxiety walking down the street and I do not know how to get past that. I now sometimes have short bursts of confidence in myself but I'm still lacking on social skills because I missed so much. Girls pick up on that, they are attracted to me first physically but get turned off by my social drawbacks.
Any advice or guys that went through this before I'm gonna appreciate highly.
