Has lifting stopped people from fucking with you?

Has lifting stopped people from fucking with you?

On the street and public places I'm always being stared at by some douchebag, teased by some teenage dipshit or just getting no respect in general. I'm always squeezing through people because they don't move out of the way, getting shit service from an indifferent staff, often ignored, etc.

I'm skinny and although not short (I'm like 1.85m) I'm very weak and I feel like I'd go down with a punch, and I think most people feel that way about me too.

Does being Veeky Forums help with this?

Publictranspo bro here
I used to be a pretty fat fuck but lost a fair amount of weight and gained some muscle. I'm not a shredded kunt by any means but to normies I look big.
I used to be pretty scared riding the trains and busses but now, I don't really give much thought to the skinny black dude pumping his shitty mixtape at full volume. Like, I'm not invincible and somebody could try to fight me or mug me, but I think I look like it would be a lot of work.
And that gives me confidence. It made me stop feeling so afraid all the time.
Mind your business, don't stare at people obnoxiously, and put on some muscle and nobody is gonna fuck with you.

Ofcourse cmon dude did you even need to ask. I know 2 guys at 6ft3 (both are flatmates at Uni).

One has a background in rugby and plays tennis 3 times a week. He isnt jacked by any means but has a solid core (think a buffer ottermode) and his veins bulge on his arms. He gets laid constantly, no one fucks with him, he is much more confident because he grew up looking great and his background in sports from an early age means hes much more physically fit.

Other guy is a skeleton. Complains he can never put weight on no matter what and has the strength of a 5 year old girl. Literally the butt of 50% of our flatmates jokes even when hes there. He's the only one that gets fucked up when we head out drinking (hes tall but weak af and every dickhead on the street knows it) and hes actually cried in front of us when he lost his wallet and couldnt pay the cab driver. Hes pathetic and all that stems from his being so weak and skinny that he demands no respect.

i used to be incredibly nervous after moving to a big city. i'd look at those world star fight comps a lot and thought fights happened all the time in publicl transit and i didnt feel very tough

went away after years of public transit without a fight in sight

>implying you can't be strong and beta
Take a look around, you fuckin newfag

You guys just sound like assholes to me.

Definitely. Now guys come up and shake my hand for no reason other than I'm big. Some people will see it as a challenge though.
I had a major problem with getting picked on at my first job when I was 17, so I started lifting then to put on some size and it has never happened since so that's nice.

Physique always matters user. If you are completely autistic then yeah things are still impossible but you need to realise that outside of this board, most Veeky Forums members of the public got their physique through sport and lifting ON THE SIDE, not as their passion and definitely not to compensate for anything like this board does.

Veeky Forums doesnt come close to how things work in the real world user.

It wasnt always like this user. When the semester started he had a blank slate like everyone else. He could have been the chill skeleton or just a normal guy and everyone treats everyone as such. All our flatmates settled in and he just stuck out with his insecurities and weakness like a sore thumb.

Even his beta friend (which he fucking followed to Uni kek) fit in (average physique and manlet) because he came out of his shell and carried himself. Skelly has no confidence, getting some weight on would change that but he refuses to listen or change himself.

Have you ever been to a gym?
Putting someone down for being socially uncomfortable makes you seem like the little bitch senpai, and I'm sure it doesn't inspire any confidence in your "friend" either. You seem very preoccupied with what others think.

Well why don't you help him out? Nigger some people need help to make it and it's important to help the skeletons realize their potential.

There's a skeleton in all of us bro.
