"Withdraw into yourself and look. And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful: he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown upon his work. So do you also: cut away all that is excessive, straighten all that is crooked, bring light to all that is overcast, labour to make all one glow of beauty and never cease chiselling your statue, until there shall shine out on you from it the godlike splendour of virtue, until you shall see the perfect goodness surely established in the stainless shrine."

This, except if you're too nervous to go to the gym try a home routine first. That helped me build a lot of confidence to do a home routine for a few months and develop my noob gains. I just did yardsale screwlock dumbells and bodyweight to start.

Yeah that's also an option, although from my own experience I'd recommend going to gym straight away. Gyms have all the equipment you need, whereas at home you might not be able to do certain key excercises => progress less than you could => get discouraged by your lack of progress => give up.
No-one in the gym actually cares if you're not in shape (they only start to care & mirin if you look good). There's no need to feel embarassed.
Another thing that can help is getting a gym buddy. Even if you're both shit at the start, at least it will make going to gym more fun at the beginning & you'll reinforce each other to keep going. Your bro can watch your form and spot you on bench so you don't hurt yourself.

Buff Dudes and Athlean-X are meme lifters who give out poor lifting advice but use their appearance to make it seem legit.
