Hey brother we all have our ups and downs when it comes to our mentality. I’ve shared similar struggles with you and know what you’re talking about. First thing is don’t believe everything you see on social media, it’s pretend and crafted to look perfect- it’s not and those who try to pose for their “perfect” life usually are the ones who aren’t. Worst thing you can do is compare yourself to anyone else-don’t do that ever. Confidence with women comes with the fact that you are comfortable in your own self and knowing you worth. When it comes to flirting with women, treat each interaction as a conversation, then read the cues/signals that the girl is giving off to you during this interaction and YOU as the man have to pick up on this and escalate - she won’t unless she’s really confident but most women aren’t and they want you to lead the interaction. Think about it, you’re having a conversation with a girl that you obviously find attractive and if you don’t lead it anywhere, it’s wasted. However I will say this if you need practice, have a conversation with a woman you find attractive and don’t lead it anywhere and treat it like a fun convo-that’s it and apply this to girls you want. At the end of the day, we sometimes struggle with our confidence but how you can reassure yourself is making yourself a better man (been said a thousand times) physically, financially, socially etc but it’s right. All the shit you do in your life to make yourself better is your reassurance that you’re a confident man and knowing your worth. Never be afraid to take risks because when you’re an older man you don’t want to live a life of regret. Always take the chance brother, it won’t always be a W but the fact that you tried your best is all that matters. Good luck man.

It’s all in your head trust me, I’ve experienced it first hand and sometimes there are days where I feel like shit mentally, what kicks me back into place is music/working out and knowing that I’m on my shit if yk what I mean. Remember you’re the man and you make your own life with the work you put in.

I was in the exact same situation as you with Instagram. I was addicted to comparing myself to other people on social media and living vicariously through their lives. I have since deleted both my Instagram and Facebook accounts and decided to delve into self improvement. (walking/running several miles a day and doing a tiny amount of lifting) I’m still in the process of self improvement to this day. You’ll probably find someone. The reason why I say probably is because it’s not set in stone that you’ll find someone. You have to talk to women and stop the false assumption that women will think your approaches are creepy, because they’re not. Be the confident man you want yourself to be. No excuses. Now go slay.

Honestly man delete Instagram. There’s so much useless bs on there it’s stupid.
In regards to gaining confidence, I’d say to start with your bank account. Money doesn’t bring happiness but It does bring confidence. Next I’d say to go out and just approach women and regain that calibration control during conversations. But throughout this whole time make sure to be on your true purpose. Also workout and increase testosterone levels. And look into semen retention.

You need to minimise the relationship between success with women and self worth. Your success with women should only be a piece of the pie so to speak. Too many people on this subreddit (including me) valued it far too much and ironically that mindset even backfires when trying to attract people.

Confidence is something you award yourself (nobody else can give it to you) when you have proven to yourself that you are capable of what you believe about yourself.

Confidence is the product of competence, you think?

Get off social media and go on a training & self improvement arc. Comparing yourself to others is what causes your, I guess, success dysphoria. Watch stand up comedy and learn to ignore the things that make you feel bad.
