I’m not sure what to expect from Reddit, mostly because it seems like many people on Reddit troll or mock those who are struggling, like me.

This post won’t be too long.

I’m a 22-year-old guy who hasn’t been in a relationship and hasn’t accomplished much in life. I have low self-esteem and confidence. I’m an average-looking guy, and my voice is a bit unusual, but the only thing I’m good at is being 6’1” and muscular (I work out regularly).

I’ve been rejected by many women, which has really hurt my self-confidence. I always doubt my looks and feel like I’m not good enough. I’m afraid to approach people and make eye contact, whether they’re guys or girls.

I don’t have many friends (maybe three or four at most), and we only get together once a month. Since I finished college, my social life has basically died.

I know I’m emotionally and mentally broken and sometimes have suicidal thoughts because I can’t handle the pain. I want to change my situation so I can make friends, find a girlfriend and love myself.

I don’t know how to heal myself, so I’m hoping you can suggest some ways I can do that. Please don’t tell me to go see a therapist.

Thanks and I am counting on you guys :)
