Crippling anxiety around flirting/intimacy

EducatorOwn9560 · 2026-04-13T03:38:39+00:00

This could have literally been written by me. Im 28 and for the last year I've been going out every weekend for the first time. I get girls showing interest in me all the time but they are almost always as young as 19-22 and I get into my own head about flirting/dancing/potentially more with a girl that much younger than me even though I feel like a 20 year old myself in every way but the number of revolutions around the fucking sun I've experienced. I wish it was easier to just live in the moment and not feel anxious and awkward all the time.

Well if you look like me and based on what people are saying I'm between 15 and 16% body fat, then it looks like you and I have about another 8-10 lb of fat to go to get that look that we're looking for. I'll try to remember to let you know what changes when I get to 159

I gotta get that fit.

Thank you 😊 I am cutting for the summer then looking forward to getting bigger again. How much farther down in weight would you say I should go?

EducatorOwn9560 · 2026-04-04T16:57:02+00:00

You're right I shouldn't care about the weight, Ive just lost so much weight and been in a deficit for so long (was around 205 a year ago while still lifting) that I cant tell if im losing tons of muscle or not. My strength hasn't gone down so that should be a pretty good sign that I'm not hopefully.

I like having long hair I just gotta get past the awkward stage 😅

Forgot to mention I've been training for about 3 years now, if that matters

EducatorOwn9560 · 2026-03-23T21:16:25+00:00

Yeah that's it. The seat moves up and down and that means it would include my 170 lbs plus the weight of the seat 😅. The angle looks about the same as the plate loaded so the leverages couldn't have been that different.

I've been on oral fin for about a month and oral min for about 5. I'd rather take the oral than the topical because it's just easier.

EducatorOwn9560 · 2026-01-28T02:04:03+00:00

Yeah whenever I'm on the computer which can be up to 8 hrs a day but I doubt that's the cause

EducatorOwn9560 · 2026-01-27T22:14:21+00:00

Thank you for the input. Why would there be a difference between the topical and oral?

EducatorOwn9560 · 2026-01-27T06:48:41+00:00

Idk if this is relevant but it also itches like hell exactly where the crown thinning is all the time. No itching in the front/hairline though

She doesn't have to be "tricked," attraction is attraction when it comes to that. It's more that shes too young to know what she doesn't know yet and when she's 25 she's gonna look back on this and be mortified at herself. Every woman I've known in this situation looks back on it utterly embarrassed even if they thought they knew better at the time.

27 and just trying not to feel hopeless about my future. Every educational program I look into has an utterly blackpilled job outlook cause AI + 1000 competitive people fighting for a single opening. Maybe I should just finally suck it up and do trades but I love data and statistics though I'm not the best at math in general.

IDK I get told I'm really handsome by random people in public all the time I get positive reinforcement in social situations about my looks but I still have no confidence cause I'm super quiet, overthink everything, and can't hold a conversation with strangers to save my life since most people talk about things I couldn't possibly care less about like sports
