Some people probably do hate you, or at least the idea of you, especially when you start threads like this, because you remind them of the way they used to be, and since they refuse to forgive themselves for having once been like that, they reflexively feel contempt towards you as well.
Overall though, people don't pay as much attention to you as you think they do, their memories are worse than you think they are, and they are stupider and more cowardly than you think they are. You can get away with a lot more than you think you can before people start hating you. Chances are most people don't even notice you, much less care strongly enough to hate you.

Tae kwon do is a bit sporty for my taste but it might be a good fit, and Muay Thai is... well... intense. I personally would recommend kyoukoushinkai if you are looking for a classic mind body discipline without the fluff and aikido if you are looking to focus more inward.

I like it here.
I don't hate you. As I look down the list, seems my best friend has literally all of those symptoms.

The idea of participating in anything with other people scares me, particularly if it involves physical exertion. It makes me feel very self-conscious. In short, I feel very clumsy, weak and hideous. I quit gym in school because of it. The taking your clothes off in front of other people part was the definite deal breaker.

Fortunately, you can get away with skipping that. Most kids actually come in with their uniforms on ahead of time, even some of the adults.
Plus, everyone looks kind of funny when they haven't really given their coordination a spot of practice.
At first, folk usually are wobbly, and don't quite grasp anything. After the first month though, thing speed up a lot. Something just "clicks", and walla, competence forms. It happens in everyone, even little kids with ADHD.
The only thing that I have ever seen get in the way of this is when the student becomes apathetic. Those are the hardest students to teach. However, so long as you have even the slightest shred of interest, you will succeed.
I am convinced that if you were to try it out, that you would care; thus, if you would stick around for more than a month, you will easily overcome that initial hill and start gliding along.

@OP: Don't even know you. You seem nice enough, though. So no.
Except for 4/1/2011. That day lingers in my memory like...metaphor here...I should go.

I don't hate anyone. It requires too much energy and you get nothing out of it in the end. There may be people I dislike, but hate is too strong a word.
Do I hate you? Not at all. Nice to meet you in fact.
As for what everybody else has been saying, I recommend finding a good therapist. Though even that I can see being hard if you really don't want to interact with anyone. I also agree about martial arts. I prefer Tai Chi myself. And if you really can't bring yourself to get out of the house to try them, you could try ordering one of those martial arts videos and trying them at home by yourself. It's not the same as having actual instruction, but they can still be helpful if you can't do anything else.
I'm working on it.
The emotional part of you would say "no", but the rational part of you says "yes". But that's not all, the Meta-emotional
part of you also says yes. Listen to those wise feelings, and rationales; they will see you through in the end.
