Bad technique, weak but fat, generally anxious.
So yea, it's hard. But at least it gets me out of the house occationally. To afraid to drive on the road, so I walk instead which takes an hour each way.

Don't be, everyone has to start somewhere. Just do what you can, keep your form in proper shape so you don't get injured, and only progress at the rate that your body lets you. Fuck everyone else.

Probably. I know it's cliche, but have you read Starting Strength? He gives common-sense explanations as to proper form that don't require you to look at yourself. You could also look at youtube videos to see proper form. If you do want to look at yourself, prop up your phone or camera or whatever when you're lifting.
That having been said, different people have different recommendations for proper form, and you will have to learn to pay attention to your own body to develop your own proper form.
It also helps to start off with light weights that you can do properly; when I lift too heavy my form suffers and I know it immediately. I don't progress as fast as the book says, but I'm still lifting three days a week and that's what matters.
> I am too conscious.
You might try putting on headphones and just focusing on your own shit instead of looking around. The truth is that most guys feel that way, and anyone who doesn't is just a worthless faggot who doesn't matter, and you can completely ignore then because they are just useless faggots.

And even THAT stuff gave me blisters and slight musclepains at first tbh. But since it wasn't hard and got done quickly I just stayed with it and once it started to not feel like any effort at all anymore I started adding different stuff aimed at whatever bodypart I want to work with that day.
Body feels better and it raises my mood a little to just move and feel it responding well.

You need to stretch during and after your workout; find out what muscles are targeted for each routine and look up the right stretch on exrx.com. You also need to eat plenty of food + protein to keep up with your workout. If it's still feeling hard, try doing some cardio on your off days, and/or make a "light" day for yourself (this goes against Ripptoe's advice but it works for me).
I listen to music while I workout, but it's always the same and just kind of a background thing. Maybe music will help you, I don't know. I do know that I don't get bored mainly because after a set I'm happy for the rest because I focus hard on each set and push it with my full attention.

A skinny person stays skinny because he gets a surge of energy after a meal, making him passively burn the calories by moving faster, doing more things, pacing up and down, shaking his legs when sitting, playing with his fingers, etc.

Lifting doesn't make anyone happy by itself, just like money, intelligence, or women. It's not even a way of life. It is a tool, a very effective way to gain different types of strength and break your expectations.
Lifting provides somebody in our position a way to directly affect their life and change their thought processes, and the gains made aren't solely limited to lifting higher numbers, the scheduling, self-control, and self-confidence are vital to rehabilitating broken men.

>you just might end up going home with a hottie after you put in some time there lifting weights.
I have decent gains and girls try to go out with me, but believe me, the only girls who would go out with you are shallow cunts who would put you down for your hobbies if they are 'embarrassing' for her I've lived through this once heed my advice and lift for yourself and your health
But then again, what do I know, I'm still a virgin weeb on the inside

You think that there is a different kind of girl out there? Haha.

Why don't you just use your sexy body to get laid? Fuck telling them about your hobbies, just act like a meathead and get your dick wet.

I don't get it man, I'm a scrawny fuck who can barely lift anything but I still enjoy working out. It's not my main outlet, that one is the one that's helped me patch myself together the most as of late, but it doesn't feel bad to work out, and I can't even go that long on it.
There's other benefits to it too, like the more defined my arms become the more I can use them as real life references for drawing anatomy, as well as having better control over my pencil when drawing.
I can understand not wanting to work out, it's work. But that doesn't really mean not working out is somehow better than working out.

I go every other day. Looking forward to my workout tonight. I would spend hours and hours in the gym if my body allowed me to.
I'm doing StrongLifts now, about to get challenging. I'm not a big guy but you can tell I have a little bit of muscle mass.
I thought about getting a home squat rack or building one but I simply enjoy going to the gym. Looking at others, looking at yourself being productive and making something of yourself. It's such a healthy environment, if you're self-conscious, look around, no one gives a shit. Everyone's there for the same reason and that's to make themselves better. You don't get that anywhere else. I also enjoy talking to people every once in a while so I don't plan on getting a home gym. Plus, I'd lose motivation because I don't ever leave the house for anything else.
Planet Fitness is for fags. Unfortunately, so is /fit/.

I used to be in this camp. Feel your muscles, feel your strength and test your limits. It's extremely rewarding. If you're just going through the motions, you're not doing it right.

>So what's stopping you from going to the gym, anon?
I prefer my $400 of free weights, resistance bands, and pullup stand all in my bedroom.

I do. I'm not really a robot though. I try to live like a monk, achieving the perfect self in solidarity.
Feels so good man.

I was going to the gym but then I got on a mountain bike team. I was trying to make myself not care about it and keep lifting and not doing cardio to continue gains, but then I almost got beat by some fucking rich little faggot who's dad bought him a $9000 bike, and my competitiveness took over. I haven't been to the gym in a week and am running and biking collectively over 100 miles a week now and the only upper body training I get is 100 push ups, 30 pullups(I alternate grips), and some bodyweight rows. I haven't stepped on a scale in a while because I know I am way too light now. I am gonna spend $1000 I saved up on a road bike instead of a car too, so there is basically no way out of this for me. I know I could eat a shit ton and still lift and make gains but I don't have time to make a massive breakfast and need to eat cafeteria food for lunch, so the only time I get to eat a lot is dinner. Fuck my life fam.

/fit/ here as well; Planet Fitness is hilarious because they have shit like Bagel Mondays and Pizza Wednesdays and a big fucking candy bowl at reception. It's like saying, "You're here to feel better about yourself for being a fat fuck; not because you want to get healthy."
I also wait till the end of my reps before I leave to set off the lunk alarms because they take forever to shut off because the dumb fucks behind the counter don't know what buttons to press.
