I’ve been isolated for years, and my social skills are nonexistent. I’m pretty socially anxious (obviously lol) and I hate going out in public. I’m fat (losing weight but it’s slow) and I feel judged in public. I know that 99.99% are too busy to care, but it still bothers me. How does one get over those insecurities? I’ve always been big and got picked on for it throughout school. I think that made me fairly cynical. I’m 28 and fear I’ve waited too long. Would it even be possible to build social skills at my age?

I definitely think it gets harder as you get older. People develop their own little circles and don’t meet new people as much. I’ve been in a similar situation for 5+ years and I don’t think I can dig myself out of this hole. It’s good that you are losing weight though. You will develop more confidence if you feel better about how you look.
