Do I have low testosterone? 20y
I'm shy, insecure, skeleton, awkward, non aggressive, scared of women, get told by people I'm nice but I'm just too quiet, have small panic attacks daily, Never been in a fight.
Friends think I'm gay.
When I lift and push myself I get a boost of energy, It feels so good and manly for about 1h then back to being my old self a pussy. It feels better than fapping
No Fap day 12

Probably. Go get it checked. Then, fix your sleep schedule, diet, activities, social life.
Keep doing what you're doing. Your test levels are probably pretty low from your living habits (as they are withing the great majority of population), but those are relatively easy to fix
This is a good article

just read it faggot
Also when it comes to self-confidence, fake it till you make it is literally the way to go. This is proven time and time again scientifically. You don't learn to be confident if you do nothing, you have to force it until it becomes natural
I have good night sleep every night. I sleep like an angel.
Without a pillow I start to hallucinate. Been sleeping with no pillow for 1 month. I'm pushing myself to keep my head up when I'm walking.
I'll check it out.
I find it really hard to be fake. I feel guilty being fake. I am simply me.
Then definitely go get checked, you might be able to get legal pharma grade test
Fake it works,
I started to act as arrogant as possible arround a single coworker I wished to annoy ... this lead me to actually grow confident in my abilities while talking to others. I could be mistaken for a "normal " extrovert if talked to now in small doses before my introvert begins to shine.
Act confident , be confident.
Role play as the self you want to be.
You think it wrong. When you're nervous around women, that's precisely what's NOT you. That's a fake you. When you're as comfortable around women as you are alone in your house without anyone even near, that's when you're being you. The only thing you'll be faking is the nervousness away, if that makes sense
I'm the exact same but fat and 18. Could I be low test?
> pic related
Forgot to mention people tell me I have a baby face and can't grow any facial hair
>4. Don't overtrain!
disregard this, train as hard as you can but don't be retarded (as in max out squats multiple sets multiple times a day)
its almost impossible to overtrain unless you're very strong
OP here
I'm a virgin
I did say that my friend's think that I'm gay.
Its because i was put in a awkward situation where they asked me so what was your worst experience. I had a panic attack, started to swetting, said nothing.
Then they asked are you a virgin user. Silence. Nobody said a word.
They weren't mean about it. Gave me some advice. Asked girls that I don't know if I look alright. But still they think that I'm gay. I'm afraid of girl.
Gon isnt even a virgin and he's like 12
Friends bring me to my first club.
Panic attacks after panic attacks.
Girl grabbed my face. Panic attack
Girl grabbed my arm. Panic attack
I'm the problem
I love you skeleton
bump. very concerned
God you sound like an insecure fag. Ffs. When I was a virgin at 20 a year ago and blatantly told some new made friends at a party, they were like "damn, it sure doesn't look like it" since I was boozed up and very extroverted (thanks alcohol).
Lemme fix your issues:
NoFap is a fucking meme. Stop that shit right now. Do NoPorn instead, and Masturbate when you feel like it, but to your own sexual desires. You will restore your emotionally based sexual carvings.
Exercise: Follow a routine in the gym, there are tons of blueprints to choose from in bodybuilding.com. I would recommend a basic push/pull/legs+abs split, 3 times a week with a bit of cardio. Watch Athlean-X to slowly add more exercices to your routine. You will also learn to do the exercices proprely
Diet: Food is fuel, and super important for exercise and overall health. If you have no fucking idea what to do, download My Fitnesspal Premium (3$ a month, but worth it: I gained 12kg of lean muscle and fat in 7 months). The app will ask for basic information and tell you how many carbs/protein/fats to eat per day. Also track your sugar goals.
All these things alone will raise your test naturally quite drastically if you are close to soyboy.
Additionaly, look into a new haircut, fresh clothes, watch your higiene and pick up a hobby. Not one that is gay like painting, but one that pushes you to meet new people and bond over your common interests (said hobby). Most conversations will start with the hobby, which is a nice way to relate to others, right.
Good fucking luck. You can do it. If you wanna lift, remember gains come slow. This is my progression over the last 7 months, pic related.
Pic of your hands now
Is that supposed to be progress pics or is it just different angles? I see pretty much no difference between the firt and last one.
>take cold showers (maybe) instead of just saying you have to take them
half measures everywhere
Let me filter this giant blog post for you OP:
>NoFap is a meme
no it isn't, and you're a cuck for jerking off to other men fucking women you find attractive. Enjoy spewing out your vitality into a sock you cuck.
>would recommend a basic push/pull/legs+abs split, 3 times a week with a bit of cardio.
if you wanna look like the DYEL in that pic maybe that's a good beginner routine
>Watch Athlean-X
good advice
> My Fitnesspal Premium (3$ a month, but worth it
too lazy to actually do your own research or just make an excel spreadsheet? sad
>pick up a hobby
>but one that pushes you to meet new people and bond over your common interests
fantastic advice
No those are progress pics, but the quality is compressed so it's not as detailed. Still, went from 68 to 80kg, and I am shooting for 85kg but leaner in September
Idk if you think you have low test then just get it tested. Privatemdlabs is pretty decent. Hunt around for the best package, should be under $100.
I said do NoPorn instead of NoFap. And yes, the picture was shitty so here is the last one in full. Again, gains come slow, I have only been doing this shit for 7 months while eating right and training decently, 5-6 times a week.
I actually enjoy NoFap. I have the will power to stop myself and not fap.
If I did Fap I would waste my time watching porn every day again. I can Fap with no porn easily.
I did gain 6kg in 3 months. This week I can confirm I gained 1kg. It took 2 weeks.
>Can I blame my personal, non-physiological problems on an actual illnes that is a hormone inbalance?
No. Read about charisma, read about mindset, find a creative output like writing, making music or creating visual art. Find out how to become the self respecting, neighbour loving cChad God created you to be. Godspeed, user.
unironically just try to get out of the house more. you need to get used to social contact. low test doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be socially awkward. work your lats more also imo. you have to put in the work though, both socially and in the gym.
There is no way to tell OP because low testosterone does not create a certain personality type. You could just be timid as a person. Go to a doctor and have them measure your levels if you are worried.
Honestly? You probably have slight social anxiety and self image/confidence issues. I'd recommend seeing a psychologist or psychotherapist, ideally specialized in CBT. You'll get help overlooking and mapping out your problems and you'll plan ways to improve yourself and to overcome your fears. You'll get someone to bounce ideas and fears with who'll help you reality check stuff you're anxious about. Being awkward and quiet is often largely due to anxiety. Literally nothing wrong or shameful about psychotherapy senpai
t. almost finished clinical psychology student
you must be 6 foot 7, you dont look 80kg

Get it checked if you're that worried. There's really no other way. Or post pics and then we can judge.
its really embarrassing to ask my parents to take me to the doctor for something like this. (yeah, i still live with them. its a cultural thing)
I would love to get out of my house but I can't. Live in a rural area.
I'm in college the whole day and I need to travel back on the bus to get home.
What makes you think you're low t anyway? Just because you're fat and have social anxiety, it doesn't mean you're low t.
You're probably right.
I had no friends for 2 years. Now that I'm in college I made some friends
.
just work on your social skills by talking to the people on the bus if you can then. start out with just basic "hello"s to people you see regularly, and try to develop it from there.
idk what living in rural america is like but aren't there like some old family friends perhaps that you can visit. i'm sure they would love the company and it's probably good practice.
im autistic as fuck tho lol so i don't know if these are good ideas
>I'm shy, insecure, skeleton, awkward, non aggressive, scared of women, get told by people I'm nice but I'm just too quiet, have small panic attacks daily,
The only reason why you're at that level, is because you allowed yourself to get to that level. Set out and do little goals each day but think of yourself as a champion when you complete them. Once you realize that it's all in your head you'll be fine, meds won't make it better.
play guilty gear
