I'm weak. How do I become strong?

Do lift. When I started lifting I couldn't bench the bar now I can do 135 pounds, not much but a significant improvement from where I was originally. Do martial arts. It will bring out your primal competitiveness and will teach you discipline. Do meditate. This will give you the ability to focus for a very long time, i.e. mental strength. If you are mentally strong you won't get stressed.

Do not engage in junk activities such as watching TV for a long time, video games or pornography. Do not tell yourself you are weak. Self destructive thoughts hinder self improvement to a great extent.

If you can't physically make a change because of your injury then you need to actively work on making a mental change until you can lift.

Mind over matter. If you act like you're scum level, people will treat you like you're scum level. Act like a man, people will treat you like a man.

Suffer and persevere.

Here's my advice:

Stop thinking you're at a scum level, change your mindset : The only people I consider to be at a scum level are those who have a ton of problems and don't do anything about it. By posting here, you're already not a scum level. Try guided meditations about positive energy, motivation and self-esteem and read redpill books.
Tackle your problems one at a time, takes small steps : There's no need to face all your problems at the same time. Just set small goals, and make sure you accomplish them. E.g. if you think your hair looks bad, go take a hair cut. Slowly step outside your comfort zone. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.
Slowly improve yourself : Spend more time on improving yourself, and doing activities that benefit you and make you a better person. (e.g. pursue a hobby, lift, read). Cut down on activities that don't benefit you as much (e.g. watch TV, video games, reading Facebook posts)
Don't give a shit : Don't give a shit about what others think about you. Don't take their shit either. Once you stop taking their shit, they will stop giving you shit.
Join a social activity, connect and expand your circle : Not necessary, but find cool people to hang out with. Many opportunities will open up.
