Feeling averse to putting myself out there

I know the feeling OP.

Its hard to give advice, but I'll try. First you gotta take a good look at yourself. What are your reasons for you feeling this way? Have you betrayed your ethics or sinned in some way that you cannot forgive yourself for?
If not then my advice is to just be positive. Literally tell yourself that you deserve love everyday until it no longer needs to be said and is just an inherit thought.
Now if you have wronged others and thats why you feel you don't deserve anything, then you have to right your wrongs. If you cant do that then you have to really analyze what you did, and find a way to forgive yourself.

Your self loathing comes from a place, and you need to pinpoint that first before you can get over it.

After that, you can heal and work toward a better future.

>despite knowing women go for men with almost nothing going for them
"Almost" is the key word here.
They may not have much going for them, but they do have high self confidence, high self esteem and charm.

It's just hard man. I feel like a failure because I didn't graduate college at age 22 like everyone else. It sucks being that weird age where half the people are fucking up and half the people are moving on to careers and shit. Makes it hard to even want to talk to anyone because I don't feel "finished" yet.
