Since a while now have been on this sub and watching many videos about going out there and approaching women. And it has helped to a huge extent, I've approached girls in ways the old me never could.

But I have issues with my weight, and an exam that I've been on the last few months. I've been living in isolation because of the same and probably may have put on an extra kilo, despite exercising earlier. I'm also looking for a new job, and can't help comparing myself to the rest of the world.

Not sure if this belongs here, but all that makes me feel kinda hollow, and pickup was one thing that motivated me (a lot). Now when I go to the mall, I just can't seem to muster the courage to go talk to someone attractive.

I'm a guy who used to look really good before in my early twenties, and had a lot of opportunities with women that I feel I threw out the window. There were two school classmates that i crushed on who were in the same city I had moved into years back, and I didn't even try. So all those regrets come flooding back at me.

I want to get back at being confident and make something of my life, and that includes having a lot of female friends and a girlfriend. I do write well btw, and looking forward to doing that.
