i try excercising but i feel disgusted not only by how i look to others but by simply percieving how fucked up my skinny fat body feels and looks. does anybody know a way to either get over that shame or work around it to work out enough so that i dont stay the same?

Just go to a planet fitness and I'll guarantee you'll be one of the least disgusting creatures in there

There's a pretty good chance the best looking guy at the gym started out either very fat or very skinny.

You train correctly until you reach a point that you no longer feel shame, that point actually exists it's not theoretical.
Whenever I start again it's always because I have let myself become fat.
I feel like a literal slug when I start, featureless, disgusting, swollen, sweaty but after months of cutting and lifting I start taking a human shape and kinda look fine in clothes, this is not the point I'm talking about.
The point where you forget about shame is when you lose more fat and now you not only look human shaped but your fat starts going away around your muscles and definition starts appearing, you no longer thank God that you managed to look like the average person, you start to look better than the average person and you and everyone else start noticing it and you want MORE.
There were times that I returned home after gym with a pump and I spent like 15 minutes in front of the mirror intimidating myself, pounding my chest and making gorilla noises, shit's addictive but you have to put an actual effort int and be consistent to get that far.

I don’t know, that’s part of the reason I started working out at home. Everyone else at the gym was way stronger than me. Fuck I even hurt my neck deadlifting one plate, ONE. The gym is for people who were always strong. Or started lifting in their teens.

Invest $200 into a pullup bar, parallel bars for dips and body rows, and a set of restistance bands. There you go, train for one year at home and you'll look decent.

Cope. If you didn’t play sports or lift in your adolescent years you will never reach your genetic potential

you can go at night when there's less people. until you start gaining confidence which should be a couple of months.
just know that the most respectable place to see an unfit person is at the gym.
