For my whole life I've made probably 2 cold approaches. The last one was in 2018 when I approached a girl in a surge of courage and landed in a bad relationship.

I lift and have some of my shit together. What I do not have is the confidence to approach even 5's.

I'm aware enough to realize what my issues are. I have no idea what to say, and I hate my personality. I annoy myself honestly.

On top of that my self-image is bad. I've had a "mature hairline" since I was a teenager. I also have insecurities about my mouth for some reason.

Basically, I don't think any girl would want me to approach although the IOI's I receive have gone up. My negative thoughts are just horribly persistent no matter what. I clam up whenever I see a cute girl.

Did any of you deal with some bullshit like this? Tips are highly appreciated. I need to get laid god dammit
