I as an early teen, forced myself into social situations with both genders, this exposed my strengths and weaknesses and so I became confident in both. I also joined a gym and have been a weightlifter for quite some time. Dressing nicely, and talking to yourself(strictly in your head) and saying positive thigns about yourself as wella s negative is a good thing. Focus on the positive but don't be scared of the negative(embrace the negative sides, and you will be at your best at all times.)

There are no bad experiences or mistakes. These are all opportunities to improve your art.
