Stuck in this loop of self improvement - need advice

Hey guys,

I relate so much to this - feel like I am improvement gooning since years without any progress.

I have been watching self-improvement content (reels, YouTube videos, advice subs) for the last 3-4 years, but I feel like I haven't made any real progress. Every time I see a motivational video, I feel inspired, but I never take action. My "Save Later" list is just getting piled up with years of videos/reels which I probably won't be able to watch.

I'm 27 now and I got into self-improvement after getting rejected by a girl I liked. Since then I have been single and trying to "improve myself", lol but I feel like I’m collecting information instead of actually applying it.

For example, I’ll watch a video/reel saying, "Don’t worry about what others think," or "Stop comparing yourself to others." It makes sense in theory but the moment I go out and try to interact, those same thoughts of self-judgment and comparison start kicking in.

Has anyone else been in this loop? How do you actually break out of it? Be honest—I don’t need another "just put yourself out there" response
