I just really can't stand myself, no matter how hard I try I'm just not good enough in my own eyes...

I think I'm gross, and I'm just depressed about it. I've been doing exercises, but they won't get me to where I'd like to be...I'm just trash, no girls would ever want a guy with a body like that.

I'm gonna be going to the gym more soon, but it's just gonna be so long, and I don't want to have to feel this way anymore...

Can't expect to look like a body builder just after a few days of working out.

If a girl doesn't pick you because of your body type, then she isn't the girl for you anyways.

Keep exercising, buddy. It will help with your self esteem, do it for yourself and not for the girls. Once you are confident with who you are, any girl would want you... they dig confidence.

Stick to it, I am rooting for you.

idontgivea. to answer your question, I don't like my body, I don't like my appearance. I think I'm gross, unattractive, despite my family saying I'm not. I just hate myself.  

My 13 year old brother is already almost my height (6'2) but is stick thin and people tell him he should be a model and it drives me crazy cause I shouldn't be jealous of him..that's silly, to be jealous like that. But then I see pictures of my parents at my age and stuff and I think they could have been models too, so I just feel really inadequate. I don't want to be "chubby".

I really like the whole really thin indie hipster look, but I don't think I could ever get there.  

Also, I'm not very masculine for a straight guy, an artist, and very shy and guarded/reserved (I've addressed this in other threads) and in addition to that, I think the way I feel about myself shows cause I never attract anybody, which I'd like to change I guess....and I figure getting a nice body would make me feel more confident about myself. I don't know how else to feel better bout myself....

keep lifting weights, im a chunky boy but ladies still love me.. idk try and build up that confidence and you'll feel better sooner or later. go to partys and have fun. just get out a lot. get into the flow of everything. learn about things that affect people so you can hold conversation and idk theres thousands of things i could tell you to do. but if you don't want it bad enough to change then it won't.

I'm not sure how to build that confidence, you guys say build it, work on it, but I don't know how, that's why I want to start an exercise routine, cause I figure if I look good, I'll feel good, right?  

I just hate who I see in the mirror, I'm not good enough.
