What happens when a skinny guy who got bullied for being skinny becomes swole aka ripped aka jacked? What happens to his mind and attitude ? Does he remain the same?

He will stay the same until he get's different experience with other people where they treat him better. For that he needs to be more active and approach people, as being a guy it won't just happen by itself.

it literally does when you're hot and jacked
being attractive is so powerful that you'd be a fool to not work on your appearance

Nothing. It's not body that changes the mindset, it's the mindset that changes the body.

When I was 17 I as so skinny the recruiter spent two weeks bringing me waffles and syrup for breakfast (and made me drink a cup of the syrup), a double whopper combo with large fries and a shake for lunch, and then after all that I was 0.2 pounds above minimum weight for my height to enlist in the Army WITH THE WAIVER.
I was 5'10" and the day I went for the physical I weight 130.2 pounds.
When I got to Basic I was back down to 128
After Basic when I put on my civilian clothes noting fit.
I got to training and my roommate was a gymrat and he essentially demanded I join him.
When I was 22 I had grown to 6'0" and weighed
225 and benched 250. I couldn't really bulk beyond that because I needed the flexibility to do my job and running was also a big deal for me.
The biggest change in my outlook was trusting myself and my body. When i was skeletor's scrawny kid brother I had no real strength and NO stamina and knew it. When i was running 4 miles a day, lifting every day, and so on. I could be confident that I could to the physical task, no matter what it was. i became much more active with hiking, camping, hunting, learned some carpentry, volunteered fro jump school, and so on because of that.

So what's the moral of this story?
Trust God?

No moral.
It was the only non-physical change was self-confidence

Cannot be the same. A healthier mind is part of a healthy body.

How many reps per set and how many sets? Not to be mean but if the army and gymrat weren't pushing you past 250 running 5x5 then you probably need to go on a good cut and bulk cycle.
