Hi. I'm about to turn 24 in a few months and most of my life I've spent in isolation mostly due to circumstances. My parents homeschooled me. I was bullied as a kid a lot.

Had a lot of hope from college but couldn't really work it out. Tried to build a good body, and be academically successfull thinking I'll make at least some friends that way. And I did, but they just used me for my skills. Did find some friends online, some girls as well, but never in person.

Since I have only 6 years left in my 20s, I want to go all out and just build shit up from scratch. I know I have it in me to be popular, liked and good with women. I am just scared to jump in. I'll be back to a bigger city in a few months and I'll begin. Have been watching a lot of old rsd videos and courses to get myself hyped up.

Coming to the purpose of this post, I'd love to hear if any of you were able to bloom through cold approach specifically. Especially if you started on your own.

Lot's of the blooming stories are usually people accidently finding themselves in the right environment and using that momentum the rest of their lives. Doing cold approach, we're trying to manufacture it.

Please share your journey out of isolation in as much detail as possible. It'll really help boost my morale.
