Im same height as you and got into game 10 months ago. Before getting into cold approach, my dating life was abysmal. It made me borderline depressed. Now, Im pretty happy with my life. Ive hooked up with many girls since starting game and now I have two FWB who I met via pickup.
Ive documented my journey since day 1 so you can refer to my field reports.

You once were younger, but 28 is still quite young. Even guys at 38 or 48 find love and start families.
Look at it that way: If you move ahead an inch every day, where would you be in a month? Where would you be in a year? In two years?
Your past or even your current situation might be bad, but you can always decide to look and move ahead.

I usually don't comment on Reddit but I'm making an exception today. You really need to find some hobbies that will force you to leave your house. I'm sure you heard this recommendation before, but get a gym membership if you don't already have one and stick with a proper diet and workout routine. Although you won't get taller at 28, you can still develop a great physique and be seen as the "jacked" dude instead of the 5'6 guy. Be sure to take progress pictures to keep track of your gains and hopefully use them to motivate yourself to continue going to the gym.
It's unfortunate that you experienced some bullying in your childhood but remember, you can still be bullied in adulthood. I'd recommend joining a martial arts class of your choice and sticking with it for at least 2 years. You can't change the past but at least you'll gain confidence knowing you can defend yourself. Hopefully, this will help with your lack of eye contact.
My last piece of advice is to learn how to dance. I highly recommend Latin dances like salsa or bachata. You should look for a local dance studio and sign up for a beginner salsa or bachata class. Fair warning, you're going to have a steep learning curve but it will pay off. They'll usually make you switch partners a couple of times each class. Try not to hit on any of the girls unless they're showing heavy interest because you don't want to ruin your reputation at the studio. Instead, use the dance socials held around the city to get to know other dancers. Even if you don't meet a girl you can date, you now have a skill that will be appreciated by almost any woman. You can even take your date to a dance social and teach her how to dance.

The is a clear case of mental self-sabatoge.
I honestly consider you beyond help. ('Those who want something bad enough will find a way, those who don't will find an excuse')
But everyone else should take note on how the momentum of a negative self-image combined with the momentum of inaction will ruin your life.
Don't be like OP.

Don't mind this guy. He sounds like he has soft hands.

Advice and encouraging words aren't going to really help you.
Taking action and building momentum will, but only you can do that.

I have to agree. Seeing yourself as a victim isn’t going to help, however this isn’t to say that the OP’s past experiences weren’t dreadful. The question is, OP, what are you going to do to fix this?
I’m a bit confused about why would you go off the grid? Are you bothering anyone with your existance? And by the way, 28 is in no way too late for anything, especially for a man. You have, at the minimum, another 10 years to figure things out.

These sort of people live and die by the opinions of others.
How many threads have been made by people in the mod late 20s who have taken absolutely no action?
How many of these threads, when they get responses that don't resemble the encouraging words of a parent who babied them throughout their whole lives, get deleted.
I have zero sympathy for people's who's own shitty mindset gets them predictable results

What a shitty comment. Give him some hope and advice ffs
[–]Thin_Protection5616 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I did in a separate comment: 'take action and build momentum.'
Imo, if your emotions are dependent on nice words from strangers on the internet, youre already kinda fucked. I'm not going to feed into someone's desire to be validated for all the wrong reasons.

OP don't think that women will solve the insecurities you have about yourself. They won't. I garuntee it. You are hoping in something that will not:
1 change your outlook. 2 change your past.
Both 1 and 2 sound like they are pretty shit. And I'm really really sorry life has given you a shit hand. It's hard. It must seem like you are destined to die miserable and alone. Perhaps you are. Perhaps you aren't. Who knows. Perhaps you can shape your destiny and perhaps you cannot. Does getting women have anything to do with these questions? I don't think so.
Do yourself a small favor and avoid conflating the two. It helped me be slightly less miserable. Maybe it will help you.

It's never too late. Start here MoodGym.com.au. This literally saved my life 22 years ago and I hope it helps you as well.

This is actually one of the simplest things you can ever do in life it’s really this simple and here it is
You’ve got game if you convince yourself and everyone else that you have it !
Done, that’s all you have to do. Even if you don’t necessarily believe it at first, just start telling everybody that you’re the shit and you’re confident in your shit and everyone will just start to believe it..
including the women because they’re really not as smart as they claim to be tbh ✌️
After a little while yes you still have to try but you’ll be confident and youll have what’s called game. From then on every single time that it works it will increase your confidence hp+1 and your confidence will snowball into actual confidence ( heroic)
And one day you will remember this moment and go “holy shit I literally willed myself to be confident. Thanks random masked Reddit super hero guy from back in the day -you saved my life and my penis🍄
fake it till’ you make it, kid
And this isnt a theory or a guess- it will work! You know how many times growing up in New York I seen the fattest ugliest snarly tooth motherfuckers fucking pull the hottest chicks ever? With shit lines n all ‘cause yo ma I just woke up n shit and like I got your baby rdy so what’s up , ehh?? Yep ugly fat stanky and all. Worst communication skills ever Most of the time it’s exactly what you’re not supposed to say to a woman but yet unwavering confidence and he’s bagging her guaranteed
Just ask Biggie Smalls he didn’t seem to be hurting. Take a good look at the motherfucker - yet he was pimpin since before he had a record. Hell he was “notorious” before then too
Just have a little faith in yourself and do it like the lion would in the jungle man. Lions just take shit they don’t sit around fucking questioning them selves
the only thing you have to be careful of is you don’t want to go overboard and be labeled arrogant and cocky-Of which there’s a fine line between supreme game and both of those things but you want to be confident bro. And no matter if some chick calks you the shortest shrimpiest 5’6 little POS that ever was - you say na momma don’t believe youe mouth and keep it moving, nothing- i mean nothing waivers your confidence! Ever! And now you’ve got game. Just be careful not to do any like stunts in front of women With all your new confidence ‘cause I got the stitches for that already and just don’t do anything stupid ! Actually…
Disclaimer: be careful this is TOS I can’t be responsible for you hurting yourself for doing dumb shit with your new confidence! so we’re just be safe about it and just have confidence lol
That’s it, there’s the gift of game
