Is it normal to be this skinny?

Well I am 5'8 and 115 lbs. I eat constantly, excersize, lift weights, and work. I have always been skinny and I absolutely hate it, it not only disallows me from getting a girlfriend, but people make fun of my size. I have had to actually change my personality and how I act to get people to like me, by being rude. I need help with my eight problems but nothing helps, not even protein shakes. So is it normal and what do you think I should do?

    McDonalds has stupid amounts of calories, also milk is good as it doesn't fill you up that much. Just keep eating and keep lifting weights. Being skinny is rubbish, I know, but you can't really help it that much. Don't be rude to get people to like you though, it won't work well in the long term.

    Progressive overload in the gym and eat a lot and take a mass gainer shake with creatine

    That's underweight... but you prob just have a very high natural metabolism. There's nothing wrong with it, everyone's different.

    Protein shakes dont help you gain weight. You need a mass gainer or weight gain shake look it up.

    I agree with swimming horses. I'm 5' 10" and 130 pounds, but lean, and I do track for my school. Obese or old people would love to have your body. If you really want to be more muscular or just weigh more, eat and workout, but make sure that you are dedicated. Make sure you're doing it because you truly want to, not because you feel like you have to look a certain way, or have a certain body. And, I used to be exactly your dimensions, so, no worries dude. Keep calm and carry on.

  • Drink protein shakes/weight gain drinks, they will put on muscle and gain weight, i gained 5 lbs from it. these products are sometimes frowned upon though.

    It doesn't seem that bad to me as long as you're healthy. I weigh 93 pounds but then again I'm only 5-5.2.

    You MUST be young... I'd say 25 yrs or younger. Grow a SPINE, and Thicker Skin.

    Now that you have cried a river - build a bridge, so you can get over it.

    As you get older, stuff like this really doesn't matter. Live your life, and the right girl for you will come along someday.

    Well perhaps because u act rude, people don't take the time to get to know u, especially girls. If they see u r sweet frm the beginning than they would want u more than if ur personality was offputing. If u r young than ur metabolism will eventually catch up with u. I wouldn't worry though. Many girls like guys who are smaller. But maybe itnisnjust ur body type. U might just be a smaller kinda guy. But that's ok cuz everyone is differen and we all have things about our body that we don't like. But ifnh can't change ur body, then change ur attitude about it. If people make fun of u then they r jerks ignore them cuz becoming rude is not worth it.

    I actually had to change myself and be rude because I was made fun of. It's not like I want to be skinny. I can't help it. But I don't think I'm fake. I used to, but thats because I had to be. Most people who actually get to know me, begin to realize my actual personality and my situation.

    Protein! U just hAve a fast metabolism. Don't be rude though. Girls would rather be with a nice skinny guy than a mean skinny guy. If they don't notice u at first glance then it is their lose. It's stupid to change ur attitude for ppl to like u. Find better ppl to hang around with. Stop being fake.

    You shouldn't have to change your personality. Be yourself. Be sweet and you'll get the girls. I've dated guys of all sizes including a couple your size. Sexy is in the attitude. I'd never even consider dating a rude guy though.

    Sound like you have fast metabolism. You can slow down your metabolism by eating less meals but eating a lot with in the few meals that you do eat.Keep lifting weights but cut down on cardio. Potatoes,pastas,breads usually make people gain weight.
