I mentioned this site before, but I wanted to reiterate they have some good advice here.

They also have a free online class, if you go to the following page, on the right side bar, you'll see where you can put your email in and sign up.

^^I checked that site last time you posted it. Lots of good info over there!

When I was in my 18-20's I was in the Army Reserves. The Army forces you to get in physical shape as it's a requirement of service and they force it on you. It also improves your self confidence as you know with work - anything can be obtained. At least it did for me. I went from Army Basic and AIT training to College. At college I applied the dogged determination that I learned in training to studies. The Army helped my self confidence greatly. I knew if that if I could get through that, I could get through anything.

Maybe join a gym and get into weight lifting. Lots of guys in their 20's start working out. Find a workout partner to help you lift / spot you on the bench press. It's easier to gain weight / muscle than it is to loose weight (fat).

Improving your physical stature helps improve your mindset & helps build self confidence. Coordination really doesn't matter for lifting weights. The key is to get with a trainer to learn the correct form so you don't injure yourself.

So what am I saying - your mental health and self confidence is up to you. Look for ways you can improve yourself both physically and mentally. Keep challenging yourself.
Use a condom.
