So I am a dark skinned guy and I can't get over it. I'm also short at 5'8 but I've accepted that. With the dark skin thing I know that women aren't attracted to dark skinned men. It's not the same as being ugly or fat.

It's gotten to the point where I am thinking about it all day and I'm not able to focus on my work. I'm already in therapy for it but it's not helping.

I'll start bleaching but I'm afraid that it won't help that much regarding my insecurity but I know that being lighter is more attractive.
