Has getting /fit/ increased your confidence and how do you boost it when it's low?
>>36778592
I'm confident as fuck as a result of winning, not because im fit
i'm winning because im fit though
:^)
Getting fit has played a role in gainimg confidence, but it wasn't a direct correlation. My advice is to get fit, reassess your strategy, then go from there. I doubt my specific path would work for many people.

I was 35%+ bodyfat when I started browsing /fit/. My mind and body were wrecked after years of abuse with weed, junk food, and MMOs that initially happend from a relationship going wrong and killing my motivation.
/fit/ really helped me. I started eating clean, stopped smoking weed and meditating instead, lifting 3 to 5 times a week & doing cardio. My bodyfat dropped to the normal range, I had the confidence to go out again and socialise or even just be productive, by normie standards people would come up to me saying I was a sik cunt.
But as I've continued to browse /fit/ and bbing forums in general, but /fit/ especially, the confidence gains have started to reverse. I worry I'm a manlet, I worry about my Testosterone levels dropping as I age and losing my gains, I worry I'm not big enough, I worry I'm not shredded enough, I worry I haven't slept with enough women, etc.
So yeah /fit/ does help you but it quickly becomes negative and you (& I) probably need to move on before it puts us back as the anxiety prone autists where it found us if not worse.

just get on gear dude
>>36778816
I got into fitness to get away from being a drug user..
>>36778939
>gear
>drugs
gear only makes you better in every fucking direction you look dumbass, it's not like weed or coke
>>36778939
Then you will fail at both
Yes. Getting stronger and better looking has done wonders for my confidence. I still feel like shit some days though, so I just sleep those days away.
>>36778939
So you are still being controlled by drugs. Good work, dummy
I take photos of myself looking my best and look at them when I'm feeling my worst to remind me of what I've achieved.

I have a hot girlfriend that adores me that I cheat on constantly.

/fit/'s answer to being healthy: roids. Never change /fit/
>>36779500

I'm quite self-confident*, although 2 months ago I was 36% bodyfat (1,80 m, 107 kg) and just started lifting 2 months ago. But since I started, my ego gets even bigger alon with my biceps – and that's fucking awesome, man!
*Maybe because already in my 30ies, good job, married, friends, had enough bad times to know that I can overcome shit.

Who the fuck wants to be healthy? Don't be a faggot.

>lifting for others approval
Just keep on going with the mindset of bettering yourself and moving past this stage of wild fear of drug use. People won't dislike you even if you aren't up to "chad" standards, it's mainly about your charisma and personality, as much as 4chan will try to drill it into your head that you're worthless, and you don't need a woman to be happy, just get some bros. No drama that way, frankly having a gf fucking sucks.
You'll be fine, just stop letting people get into your head. Be your own man, and that'll speak for itself on what kind of person you are.

Why would you emotionally destroy a good woman, atleast do it with the cunts that deserve it
Fucking nigger
>>36778592
realize that you are the most important and most attentionworth person in your life
act like that but dont be egoist
do something worth doing and overdoing it until you are really great at it
>>36778592
Yes, I don't walk around with awful "nobody look at me"-posture and I make eye contact with people now.
>>36779706
No, just pointing out that behaving in a soecific way to avoid drugs still means you are being controlled by drugs. He will fail at the gym and at sobriety because he's not finding something he wants to do, he's avoiding something he wants to do

I really look up to Captain America, so a big reason of why I've been lifting has been to live up to his name. I've also been trying to shape my attitude after his. I've noticed that over time, I've become practically fearless. I used to be a weak little skinnyfat that could barely do 10 pushups. Big guys scared me. Now nobody scares me. I don't back down from anyone anymore.
>>36779500
I wish I could cheat but damn shes too good to me
>it's all about confidence

This. The guilt and realization that youre a nigger are unbearable.
>>36785453

>>36785453
You sound so bad, I'm glad you found an autist to pair with
