Your "Body Dysmorphia". Let's hear it!

By definition strength is the ability to exert force on an object. Moving the heaviest object means you're the strongest.

The other guy just made more progress.
 
To me, the definition of strength (in all things being equal) is someone that does not get injured and or recovers quickest in a chosen sport.

To many confuse "training" with "a workout"
 
Strength is force
Power is force / time

Mental discipline is probably most related to those things you mention. Not pushing out reps with poor form and doing everything to promote recovery.
 
This is from someone who doesn't like to say "I weigh 90kg" because weight is measure in Newtons being the mass (kg) * 9.81m^-2 (gravity).

Also I'm not strong, powerful or mentally disciplined so feel free to ignore me
 
I hear what you're saying. My point isn't that I know everything there is to know about strength, but I do know how to train effectively at a beginner and intermediate level, and have sufficient knowledge to weigh in on the pros and cons of various techniques and training methods. I more or less keep my mouth shut when it comes to highly advanced stuff programming. But there are a lot of internet gurus who think I can't possibly know about more basic stuff like safe joint alignment, core activation, how to breathe, how to program progressive overload, or how to balance a program, because there aren't an arbitrary number of plates on my lifts.
Interesting. I'm captivated by people's eyes, until I'm the one speaking. Then people's eyes become a distraction. So, when I'm listening, I do so with the focus of 100 stalkers; when I'm speaking, my body language probably says something more like: "Stop stalking me."
 
@ppl who say they are over conscious about their hands and eye contact.

I was like that. Not sure what causes it but I think I it has to do with not socialising enough and never leaving comfort zone. I was broke needed job and only thing i could land was a concierge position. Was terrifying because people expect you to be like the TV concierge a social wizard. After while things get easier and become normal and you dont think about things. I even started noticing people who had same problems as I did.

-Cliffs just socialise more and pretend everyone is your friend. When you talk to friends when chilling you probably dont have these issues, so just imagine everyone is your friend.
 
pretend to like them. eg just reflect back their personality.
eg
dont do
muppet : i like base jumping
whitty: thats dumb hope you die silly kunce

better
muppet: i like base jumping
whitty: wa crazy moutain goat sport, must of seen lots of cool places.

just sayin... this helped me, that way no awkward silence or whatever so no need to look at floor.
 
I have these problems while talking to friends. Only time I don't is when my hands have a set task to be doing, even if that job is just to hold a cup.
