I have never been approached and asked what are my tastes and hobbies. Nobody ever talks to me when I'm in public. And when I try approaching others and striking a conversation, it's always like I'm invisible.

Actually, it has only happened once as far as I remember. I had a nice conversation with a girl (I'm M18) and I it was honestly great. It's been more than a month but I feel good every time I remember it.

What's holding me back in sucess with interacting with strangers? I'm fat and have about 22% body fat; is getting slim all it takes to not be invisible to others?

I won't read here we go again with the moaning about no-one cares about me threads. It's up to you to take the initiative.

I'm awkward as fuck, my voice is weird and I stutter a lot when approaching someone. Nobody cares about me so it I feel taking the initiative myself hurts more than helps. I'm most often just ignored.

get in the gym and fix your hideous body, the confidence will come slowly but you'll have to put in effort to be social. start with old people they like conversation. no one likes someone who can't have their own voice and speak like they intend to be heard, it's annoying.

That's pretty normal, especially in these times. Network.

Hardly any man ever gets approached in public, anon. Why would you expect that?

Getting physically fit at least once is honestly a true lifehack.

Even if you get fat again, you'll have the knowledge of how to recover.


TLDR it doesn't matter how much you eat (although I'd advise to avoid trashslop like burgers on the regular and cook your own stuff instead like meatballs or mincemeat with rice or mashed potatoes, vegetable salads, fruit juices. Yes it can be oily but it shouldn't be fastfood.)

What matters is REGULARLY grinding at least half an hour a day - morning and evening exercises, 10 minute jogging, pushups, pullups, don't go to crazy with weightlifting though without a supervisor so keep to the simple stuff if you wanna make it easy).

Physical exercising legit helps venting physiological schizo crap, it's physiology. No idea how exactly it works. Just do it.

Also get smarter. Dedicate at least an hour of your day to reading, REAL paper books, not electronic stuff (it's basically just you sitting in the virtual world and that's not the same). Doesn't matter what you read but I'd recommend these three books:

The Moon and Sixpence by William Somerset Maugham
Heidi by Johanna Spyri
The Castle by Franz Kafka

THEN you're ready to socialize meaningfully.

There's no fast way around it - it's a grind but it's not really physically taxing. Be ready to invest emotionally but don't overdo it.

Keep a balance with the distance.

Remember - ALWAYS reply to a question, unless it's some negative psychotic offensive crap - that stuff can be left unreplied. Try striking up simple conversations yourself to get the hang of it.
Once you have 1000 meaningful conversations, you'll get the idea.

It's not hard but it can only be obtained through consistent practice.

what weird disney movie made you believe that it's common that people randomly talk to strangers? Only scammers, beggars and guys trying to cold approach girls are doing that. Don't you have a dad or uncle who told you that?
