Wow that is a small stature. I'd like to be encouraging but the truth of the matter is I feel like I never see males with your build in every day adult life and I could see how it could be a real burden. Actually, I take that back. My father in law isn't much taller. He looks like he's our kid when walking with my wife and I.

My cousin had Leukemia a few years back and he's about the same age (and build) as you but he wants to be FBI some day. I don't have the heart to tell him but I've never met a federal officer who was below 6'2.

You're life is going to be an uphill battle but if you've got one thing going for you, it's that short people live longer.

As far as building muscle and whatnot I HIGHLY recommend Starting Strength Read it cover to cover. It's a treat, the man is hilarious and it's just about the bible for making your body stronger.

I think I'd like to be your friend. gonna PM you.

:( I can see that this is very important to you. It is not fun to live in worry that everyone you love and cherish can turn on you in an instant for something you did a long time ago.

I would suggest reading the book called "Think or Sink: The One Choice That Changes Everything" by Gina Mollicone-Long. It discusses actively choosing the way you feel through the day. I believe she says that when we do not choose the way we feel, we revert back to our base level on thinking.

Although her phrasing may not be completely relatable, there is a kernal of wisdom to be found here. If someone decides to focus on the negative aspects of their life, which may be very daunting, then this person will tend to think negatively over all. Focus on what you are doing well and what you can do better, then take action.

Another thing that you can try immediately is to start a private journal. All you need is a notebook and you're set. Choose a time in the day to write everything that is on your mind and anything else you want. Try to be as open as possible because this is your space and time to vent everything you're holding in. For me, it helps to see all the issues I'm facing on paper and writing it down forces me to think about it rather than pushing these thoughts back down. This has helped me a lot with anxiety in the past, and it is a great way to monitor your mental health and thinking patterns.

I've had similar anxieities as well and these tendencies went on for years. Earlier this year I decided enough was enough and went to my school counselor and my doctor. Just talking about what was on my mind helped tremendously. If this mental anguish is so unbearable, I implore that you seek some form of help. Whether it be a counselor, a psychologist, your family doctor, or a close family member, they will all understand what you are going through and try their best to help.

You don't have to, and shouldn't, suffer through this on your own. Reaching out to reddit was a good first step toward a solution, but it is up to you to carry this momentum into making a change in your life.

Good luck!

As a very introverted person myself I understand what you are feeling. I found it hard to just make friends with people easily. At school I had a few close friends and that was it. I have found that close friendships are way more worthwhile than having lots and lots of acquaintances.

Recently I have been preparing for pilot assessment, which involves a lot of group exercises (something as an introvert I struggle a lot with). I was recommended a book called 'The Introvert Advantage' by Marty Olsen Laney. I highly recommend this book to you and any other introverts looking to discover more about themselves and how to live better in an extrovert world.

No problem.

I was a former fatty, and going to a gym shattered my perceptions of weighlifters. By and large, I have found them to be well informed regarding nutrition and eager to help beginners. Gym people really get motivated by seeing others succeed.

I'd start by going to your local gym with a weightlifting friend, or maybe hiring a good personal trainer and telling them what you want. This book is the bible on lifting weights with proper form, and there and lots of online resources that use its lessons. Other tips:

  • subscribe to /r/Fitness

  • Calories are good! learn how much you need and try to hit that everyday. Remember, if you're not eating extra calories, you won't gain any muscle.

  • Have at least one "cheat meal" a week

  • DO YOUR SQUATS

  • have fun and help others

Here is an example of one of them and I found a 2nd type of locking system. I live in a very non-theft prone area so I only know about the type of lock through a friend who biked more in Boston and even he admitted they were mostly a deterrent. I am sure your local bike shop might have some better suggestions than those or they might know of a better designed brand.

I know this sucks, but it's an easy/cheap replacement: post (assuming that went) and saddle. Post is fine quality (verify size) and the saddle is damn good for the money. Total should break $25 for free shipping. Wrench it yourself (easy if you have allen keys) or a shop can do it for less than $15.

Sure. Here's an example.

You'd probably want to avoid it in tea form in your situation, as caffeine tends to aggravate insomnia and anxiety.

This may come off as disrespectful or minimizing, but I've been fighting with depression and lethargy for the past 9+ years. Two things that really got me out of my funk were 1. Reading this comic, (if it doesn't help, read every single other zenpencils, and then read it again, and again.) and 2. Starting to do some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy stuff on my own, out of the book Mind Over Mood. (Seeing a counsellor who specializes in CBT is no doubt better, but with less money getting the workbook or finding something online works.) The basic premise, and the thing that I've been doing, is every time something happens and you have a negative thought - say, spending the whole day in bed and thinking "my life is worthless" - you write down (has to be written) all your negative thoughts, then find neutral and positive thoughts - e.g., my life has equal value to any other, value of life is not quantifiable, there are people in my life who value me.

Apparently it actually trains your brain to make connections from events to neutral or positive thoughts instead of automatically negative.

Bon courage, I hope you find what you're looking for.
