I turn 25 next week , and I’ve never been with anyone romantically or otherwise. The issue is that I’m a homebody, and even when I’m outside, I’m just really shy and not at all confident. (Im a straight dude btw, please no horny DMs asking “M or F?”)

Nothing wrong with that. Online is how soooo many people connect these days as well. The "timeline" isn't mandatory and was designed for boomers whose rent cost $12. Being a homebody is cozy and nice.

What helped me was finding self love. Take myself on dates and force myself to walk/bike outside.

I used to be very shy and lacked confidence. Shyness is a barrier you can force yourself to overcome. Confidence is a fake it until you make it emotion. Rejection is a reality for all kinds of personal reasons for the person giving it, and not all of them have anything to do with you. It usually takes a lot of no’s to find a yes. Look at it like a game to a certain extent so the rejection doesn’t hit as hard when it happens, but be genuine and treat the people you’re interested in like people.

Being shy isn't a flaw nor should one force themselves to fix it

You can live how you want to live, but what he’s talking about doing is infinitely easier if you overcome shyness.
