Original Reddit post

I am currently losing my weight. 28 years old. 6 ft tall. 370 lbs was my starting point and i have a long while to go. But i am truly locked in. The problem is that i am scared of connecting with people. I have guy best friends that respect me and like me. But anytime i come in contact with a new group of friends I always kinda become the end of the jokes because of my weight. Usually by a guy that definitely is insecure and uses me to be funny. This keeps going until i isolate myself from the group. I have honestly never talked to any woman romantically. Casually I am not scared of women or something. The possibility that i could be loved is just not in my head at the moment. So i just want to know how i could prepare myself mentally not to be at the bottom of any group. I don’t want to be cool or something, i just don’t want to be bothered and laughed at. Thank you in advance. submitted by /u/TheFuture01928
