It helped me not having to be social. The stare is enough, no talking needed. Especially true when bulk eating looking like you would eat a little child were it to appear
Has lifting helped those of you with social anxiety?
no. Feeling good about how you look isn't going to fix much beyond making you more narcissistic. Expose yourself to failure, i.e. talk to people and make an effort to put yourself out there to extinguish your fear. Or else go to therapy, unironically. /thread
Yes, but no. I still have just as much social anxiety/aversion as I've always had, but looking like chad gives you the halo effect and people assume you're cool.
People are competing with eachother over everything- all resources- and view society as a zero sum game. They are activrly looking for excuses, narratives, and rationales with which they can try and sabotage your ability to improve or get more.
On the left, he was an ugly manlet. Normies could easily beat him and take his money. Or threaten him with beatings into giving them his resources, or not taking a job. The authorities would ahve looked the other way because he’s ugly. He’s no competition for them regarding women. He can’t compete with them in sports and take their place.
On the right, he becomes competition for ALL of those things.
Do you understand?
His that guys case, he was medically deficient of testosterone and wasn’t producing any. He looks like his hemoglobin and red blood cell counts were feclining due to the issue, meaning that he would quickly wither and die. Even without that, he looks like he’s dizzy all the time and thus can’t do any work (yet another symptom of low T). Normalfags will ALWAYS try to disrupt your medical treatments, especially if doing so is covered by a narrative that it’s not bad. They cfan’t disrupt your chemo treatments out in the open, so they’ll do it in private. But with Test, there’s a narrative that covers them which says that it’s not only NEVER NEEDED as a treatment, but that’s it’s ALSO morally wrong because reasons. So they take full advantage of that to try and stop you.
Ironically, Testosterone is gonna make someone immune to beatings and intimidation. Also, ironically, most gymfags and normies these days are using SARMs and PEDs whoch include Testosterone anyway, thus showing the normies to be hippocrytes that just want you dead or crippled.
TLDR it’s Hate against potential competition. They want you to own nothing.

Most of the brain flaws make sense in ancient time.
Joining a group of people, whom you don’t know, is quite dangerous when you think about it. The brain just activates your fight and flight response in case there is an attack, but the brain hasn’t adapted to modern society where it’s safe to join a group of strange 98% of the time.
It helped a lot. But now people expect me to be even more confident. It feels like the more I improve to fix my social anxiety the more I'm running after the image I project outwards.
Lol no.
The thing that help me is doing wim hof in the morning aka make my adrenaline peaks in the morning, so I get passively less anxious during the day. It’s essentially just exposure therapy.
It’s just better than exercise in that department, otherwise, exercise mogs it hard in term of health benefits.
It’s made me feel less intimidated by people but I’m still awkward. People think I’m a nice enough guy but I’m just really quiet and I don’t know how to initiate things socially. How do you even get better? It’s like I have nothing to say mostly
Become well versed in many areas of life, you need to be a jack of all traits conversationalist. You achieve this by reading lots, fiction, non fiction, articles, science papers, news etc. Watching a large variety of movies, listening to all genres of music and so forth. You will have a whole arsenal of things to talk about with people. Secondly keep exposing yourself to social situations and I guarantee you will have flowing conversations so long as you remain calm and laid-back, ask the other person questions to get them talking if you have to, most people love taking about themselves. Remember not to force it, if you truly have nothing to say just be comfortable with yourself in that moment.
I take it in 3-4g doses, and never exceed 12g a day.

How do you cope when the crutch is inevitably kicked away?
I don't take it every day, I hear people have a problem with getting addicted to it, but I don't take that much, and don't really feel too different on days I don't take any, just maybe a little unmotivated. Kratom just gives me a ton of energy and makes me kind of talkative.

gay and sad to read. Go to therapy

Leg day and running yes because of the massive endorphin rush just heals all anxiety
Exercise is good but I think I stand out more which is worse for anxiety.

No, just made people stare so doesn't help.
My issues more fall under self hatred than anxiety.
no, but martial arts did. do some kind of sport to supplement your lifting
No, you need to repeatedly expose yourself to social situations so your amygdala learns to not sperg out

This is a neurotic person cope btw, most normie extroverts don't sperg out in social situations. Embrace your neuroticism.

no
people just think I'm an asshole now without approaching me
Idk sounds like you might be projecting a little

just stop caring. it really is that easy.
Doesn't exist. Just go outside and talk to people. Doing new things is uncomfortable. Start doing them.
no, meditation has tho.

Not nearly as much as kratom has
how much do you take
I take it in 3-4g doses, and never exceed 12g a day.

How do you cope when the crutch is inevitably kicked away?
No because foids actually want to talk to me now
Being strong will make you confident
You have to earn physical power with hard work and struggle
yes but then my bad habits do more than enough to compensate and i end up making no progress.
