How does one gain and develop self confidence/self esteem? As I work on my social skills and get exposure (which hasn't been working that well) this is a glaring issue and its affecting my ability to be social and connect with others. I don't have any close friends and have never asked a girl out (been asked out by girls, didn't work out because I'm retarded). In fact, I've drifted away from all my friends except for work friends (not real friends according to some on here, we don't hang out or text/talk outside of work). I think my issues stem from a combination of factors from my upbringing to lack of socialization (especially early on, and peer rejection) and insecurity about it. I possibly have social anxiety as well. I am 27 years old, just feel life slipping by as I sit in my bedroom on the computer. I find myself paralyzed by inaction at times when I try to be plan things such as going on a trip or getting involved in more activities such as going to church, going /out/, learning more about /o/ and seeking out people with these interests. In fact I don't even know where to start. I have a good job and work out regularly (although I do struggle with self discipline and lethargy in the mornings too and miss gym days). Any advice for me? I know there have been similar threads before, but I feel my situations a little different than others because I'm not a NEET and did have prior experience but still found myself isolated like this (possibly depression? Autism? I don't know). I still have close family, they're all I really have.

>>32602212That looks like a virus link
>>32602225It's not. The 1drv means drive. Its just a shared link from my drive so if anything its probably bad against me.

>>32602232You're a stranger and your acting like someone holding an iPhone box with nothing in it trying to sell an iPhone, except in that box is a virus. Tell it here. Stop anticipating people. If not I don't give a shit.
>>32602252I'm sorry. That's probably a better way to go about it. I didn't think about that. Makes more sense.
>>32602260Yes it does, anon. Don't think this is light-hearted, because it isn't. I'd rather miss the opportunity.
>>32602297Anon, It's not that big of a deal. The link is even safe. Get over it. There's even a report button if you feel that triggered mortal.
>>32602232You know I kinda agree with >>32602252 despite his harsh response. Need to be careful in todays world.
>>32602310It makes more sense to just summarize in like a few sentences or a few words anyways. Plus, 4chan doesn't really like links beside news. I jut found it to be an interesting read and he mentioned something to read and I was wonderring how you would practice confidence myself considerring its just being yourself. Wasn't even harsh criticism and I won't do it again. Its just a book anyways.
>>32602307Ok
By honoring the sixth house (and the tribe unmourned)
>>32603310Come Nerevar, friend or traitor, come. Come and look upon the Heart and Akulakahn, and bring Wraithguard, I have need of it.
>>32603600they were gay right?
>>32603669No, they were just friends and allies. Nerevar was married to Almalexia who along with Vivec and Sotha Sil betrayed and murdered him
>>32603923huh some guy on reddit told me there were homoerotic undertones in the story. stuff that goes beyond brotherhood. I'm not sure. seems just like male platonic love to me but hey
>>32603942Yeah because its Reddit, I wouldn't even go on there but if you do take everything with a handful of salt
