Go browse a bodybuilding sub and see how many steroid users are total social autists with bigorexia.

You lift weights for your own sake, not for validation from others.

Steroids don't make you strong or muscular. Steroids can HELP if you have great gym ethics, but if you don't have great gym ethics work on those first.

Lifting doesn't just get you friends and women, you lift so you feel good about something you're accomplishing. It's just a first step.

You are 16 you are basically on steroids with the hormones your body are naturally producing. Eat train sleep repeat. In the words of Mark "smelly" Bell, steroids are not for kids.

I've read How to win friends and influence people but it still dont work. It just makes people like me

Yes that is how you make friends. First step is to make them like you. That's exactly what you want. They like you -> they are more accepting to hang out with you.

One thing it sounds like you're doing is waiting for people to ask you to hang out. I realized that life rarely works this way. If you want to hang out with people, YOU have to take the initiative. Wanna watch a movie with some people? Text 5 of these people that "like you" and if even one comes out, it's a win.

If not, text 10. Then 15. I guarantee you you'll run accross someone like yourself who is too shy to make friends.

Getting big won't get people to like you. You'll only be good at one thing, that's lifting weights.

Girls dont wanna talk to me and i stay at home all day because no one wants to chill with me.

You are saddling the horse from behind. Nobody wants to hang out with you, because you don't do shit. To be interesting you have to provide value. It can be money (worst and totally boring and BB) or cool anecdotes from the stuff you do in your life (works best, just be like every other guy and brag with your uber awesome hobbies). Believe me, I'm 11 years older than you and still sit in the same boat to a degree.

Don't do roids this early. It'll fuck you up. The earliest moment to take them is after 21 when you finished puberty and had your last growth spurt. Not only because you'll probably roid wrong, get high estrogen and earn yourself some tits as well as making your growth sections in your bones close earlier. But because you can also "kill" your balls and suffer from low T far too young. Not worth the risk.

As a 16yo guy, LIFT MORE, EAT MORE. Oh and lift hard ffs

The testosterone levels you will be able to achieve with healthy diet and exercise at age 16 will be near equivalent to a steroid cycle. Do it right and you will be able to keep these levels for the next 14 years.

No I take steroids and I'm the biggest loser you may know.

Being ripped isn't everything for attraction, honestly ppl barely gives a fuck

Can't tell if this is a joke but I'll take it seriously.

First of all, Dbol isn't meant to be cycled by itself. It's pretty clear to me that you haven't done the proper research to even be considering a cycle.

Secondly, don't do steroids at this point in your life. The reasoning is twofold. Firstly, you're 16. If you'd done the appropriate research, then you'd know that steroids can fuck up your endocrine system very severely and you are at a much, much higher risk for this when you are younger than 26. You're going through puberty still, even if you aren't getting taller. Your testosterone should be at the highest natural point in your life right now. Also, the mental side effects of a steroid cycle can be very taxing. You clearly are not in a good place mentally right now, so the mental sides could push you over the edge in a bad way.

So let's get it straight. You aren't struggling socially because you aren't "ripped" enough. Look at some of your classmates that are popular and get a lot of girls. Is every single one of them in peak physical condition? No, of course not. They are popular because they are fun to be around. Seriously. Not to be a dick, but it sounds like the few hobbies that you have are fairly solitary activities. You don't make a lot of friends by spending your free time at the gym and shitposting on reddit. Get some more social hobbies. Pick up rock climbing. Join a club at school. Start going to places on the weekends where you are likely to meet people.

Chin up, man. I know it sucks right now. Anyone who says that high school was the highlight of their life is either lying or pathetic. Don't off yourself. If it seems like this is the worst it can get, then it can only get better from here. And trust me, it does. I was like you at your age, but I slowly learned to make friends, talk to girls, and have fun. Also, college is a fresh slate just around the corner, so try not to worry too much.

TL;DR Don't do steroids at least for another 10 years. Pick up some social hobbies and learn to be fun. Don't kill yourself, that's the coward's way out and you're better than that. It only gets better from here.

I was in a bad state. Dissatisfied with everything. Ready to give up. I remember making a mental note that I was never going to find the answer by reading. That night I was browsing the internet out of habit, boredom and despair and I found two things. First was The Red Pill and the second was "No more zero days"

The only thing you can change in life is you. Don't try and change things with any other objective than to make yourself better tomorrow than you are today. Don't try to impress other people, try to impress yourself. Not with big grand sweeping changes, but with small ones. I'm still working on swallowing the pill, I am an old fat slob, but I can see the truth in it, but I know I need to be happy with myself first before I can use the pill to its full potential and this helped:

Op, without knowing more about your situation, I think you need to work on your self-esteem and personality in general. Unless you're depressed bc of low testosterone levels, steroids won't help you. Dbol isn't the steroid you'd want to take. You seem very ignorant about the effects of hormones. Realize that messing with your hormones can severely fuck you up if you don't know what you're doing. When I see posts like this, the first thing that comes to mind is that you're socially awkward. You have plenty of time to work on yourself, so don't sweat the small stuff.
