6 months ago I got into the game, didnt feel like I needed to go to the gym and picked up and f-closed 3 times in about 4 months which - for me - was unbelievable.

Then I got depressed for different personal reasons, and lost contact with a lot of people. I was just generally less popular, and had no luck with females because It wasnt a priority for me to try and score anymore.

Now, thankfully, im not depressed, but because my dry spell has gone for about 2-3 months (only k closed once in that time) my self esteem is just absolutely terrible.
So ive started going to the gym (which is proof that I need to give myself some sort of boost, previously I didnt htink I needed it) and I have a very difficult time even making friends with a girl. Its weird...I used to just generally be friendly and people would love me even if that meant just as a friend, and now I feel like im doing the same thing but getting nowhere and creeping the fuck out of people.

Is this sort of up/down in confidence normal?
How the hell do I get out of this slump? I have no clue whats going to help me, Im the most of a failure ive ever been in terms of women.

you are great with women, it is all in your head

it happens to me alloott , what you gotta do is stop saying "I used to do this and Used to do that" cuz ull build your personality based on the past so now focus on whats happening at the momment and try more , you will get what you want !

I don`t know if it`s normal, but I`ve experienced it. I found that building character, and reaching that next level will usually be the cause.

Keep going out, and meeting new people, then start to incorporate inner game. Do this so that you can progress congruently.

You were probably unconsciously doing a lot that made you attractive, and now that you`re conscious of your behavior, it`s forced, unnatural.

My strongest suggestion would be to work through this to the next level. Then, look back laughing!
