I hate to say it, but consult the Greeks.

I've read the Greeks (Homer, Euripides, Plato, Plutarch, Epictetus), and I'm still a cowardishpussy.
Books cannot transmit bravery or manliness unto a person that has no such inner feelings.

Op here, you don't think books can imprint a philosophy in your whole being that seeps into your daily life? I do. But I also think courage is tricky because it's needed in a single moment and it takes action from the body not so much the mind

do courageous things and become immortally detached from reality
I advise mountaineering, go on long ascents without bringing food or water

Laches by Plato

Honestly, fake it till you make it. When you look in the mirror in the morning before you start your day, think about a persona that will act like how you wanted too but would never do. You'll think about it in your head, but your persona will do it. Then as this gradually starts, before you know it , the persona has become you. I've seen this work numerous times for people having trouble with social anxiety or even just going out and socializing. You'll think about how you wish you could do that, but it's just not you. But you're not you right now, you're the persona that you wish you were. Good luck user. Very hard indeed to go against your base nature.

You obtain courage by doing scary/stressfull things and then realizing You had been an autist for being scared/stressed by them.

Read the Bible, get to know Christ. Become Catholic

Seize opportunities. Disregard consequences, rewards, what others think, rules, and norms.
With both success and failure from these opportunities you’ll awaken the potential of your instinct.

Only thing you could read to get inspiration are Nietzsche and fiction that feature unbridled strength like blood meridian

Meditate on the color red, fire, and your right shoulder.
Consume red meat.

Use your imagination to envision courage and cowardice.
Observe other’s feats of courage and cowardice.
It’s very essential to understand cowardice in order to understand courage.
But when it comes down to the situation you don’t want to be thinking too much

You don’t need to lift weights or any of that because courage will come from your voice alone.

Keep in mind the inevitability of your own death. Not in the sense of an angsty teenager saying "life sucks", but in the sense of "there is an ultimate deadline on which I cannot procrastinate". That is the kindling that will light a fire under your ass to do stuff.

Actually pretty deep

its not deep its common sense backlit by experience

I'm not a coward in that I'm afraid of death, but I'm always incredibly scared of making a fool of myself, which causes me to act like an autist in social settings. Can this be fixed with Yea Forums?

Whoever I try this I always come across as even more awkward and try-hard than I did before

My curse as well— most likely AVPD. It stems from an absence of self esteem; a failed perfectionism. Accept who you are and not who you want to be.

I'm Can confirm 100%.
I was stressed out by making approaches to girls and as a result I never fucked. I bit my lips and tried it out.
10 times, 20 times; still incel
30 times, got slightly better
40~ times, a lot less stressed
About 100 approaches: "I don't even know why This thing used to stress me out". You just approach them. Most still say no. Some say Yes.
Obviously you have to be motivated, If every time you fail you just go to pornhub you won't try more that 10 times before getting tired of it all.
Also you have to have realistic standards; Even If the women don't and every landwhale believes she deserves a 10/10 prince charming with billions in the bank, three phds and an hearth of gold who will be patient with her If she fucks around a bit and is always waiting on her. This is just the narrativization of the female mind; and one of Walt Disney's mayor crimes against humanity.
You don't suffer of Disomy of the X chromosome, you know better; and you're not interested in disney princesses anyway.
It's all just applied common sense.

>accept who you are
What if I'm a loser

Idk generally just work to improve. It’s not easy and fuck knows I’m no good at it but I guess just try mate

At first I thought you were cool, now you just seem like another red pill reddit loser

there honestly may be something to this. Longer i'm alive, i'm starting to realize life is just about acting and people will buy into your bullshit

read A Hero of Our Time

Life is essentially one giant LARP.

based on my life experience is better to be a coward.
trust me dude.
