Could low testosterone effect confidence?

[Saraswati57]

My question is basically the title. I've always had low self-confidence levels, especially in concerns to female interaction/sexual confidence (in terms of feeling attractive despite offers). I feel like my virility has been zapped. I suppose it could be low serotonin levels causing confidence issues. I'm just postulating, though.

Not necessarily. Indicators of low testosterone would most likely manifest themselves in physical indicators, such as low libido, lack of energy, physical weakness, weird moodiness, etc.

 

Shyness around women is most likely a behavioral trait that you can work on to change.

I also think that maybe I have low testosterone and it's that which is causing most of my issues.

I have all of those symptoms, actually. I agree it is significantly behavioral, I seem to lack much masculine assertiveness/energy, though.

Your thread title says testosterone but your post says seratonin. Those are nothing alike. Seratonin is a neurotransmitter and testosterone is a hormone. You could have shortfalls in both, either or neither. There are tests for testosterone but none for seratonin. For a testosterone test see a urologist. If you don't want to go to the urologist ask your primary care physician to order the test. I advise being sure to say that you want "both numbers" on the testosterone test i.e. the overall and the so-called "free testosterone". Sometimes men can test in the normal range overall but have a shortage of what's called "free testosterone" which is very important. I had this. I was "normal" but asked for the "free testosterone" test and it showed up borderline low. I was prescribed AndroGel and it was an experience to say the least. It made me feel a lot more sexy and have many more instant fantasies that usual.

 

Seratonin is not something that a test exists for. The health of the seratonin system is gauged by patterns in thinking, feeling and behaving. Shortfalls in this area can also be compounded by other neurotransmitters not achieving a tuned-up engine and medication exists for people to try different things to see if they get desirable results.

 

Lack of confidence can also be a matter of "social anxiety" where people "feel" a tension at the idea of being exposed to others. Seratonin can be involved in the syndrome and medication to tweak it can work. Good luck.

Yes clinically low testosterone can carry symptom of depression, and depression like symptoms of difficulty concentrating, anxiety, along with physical logical effects like loss of muscle, increased weight gain, decreased facial hair, low sex drive.

 

Though much of the time these are more of result of other psychological issues. The good news is committing to an exercise program, loosing weigh, and adding muscle can help with either case.
