I've never been in a relationship or dated, really. I'm a loner with little friends, I'm the bookish quiet type that doesn't know what to do in social situations, and am very inexperienced with life/men in general.

I'm not unattractive, but my fashion can be frumpy and I have anxiety and severe self-esteem issues (not related to my appearance, but my lack of social circle and general inaptitude). I feel like I don't have control of my life, and that I'm sometimes weird, eccentric, and not easy-going.

Are there tips from you wonderful ladies on the small steps I could take that will help me get my life in order, groom myself better, build self-confidence, and work on my mental health?

I do not feel "worthy" of being with a good man until I pull myself together and become something that can genuinely be loved.
