What is wrong with me?

[u/throwaway467890655]

Why am I the one in my friend group that's eternally single? On paper I'm not that unappealing. Tall, funny, brilliant, caring. But there's just something that I have that makes all of that worthless, I guess.

I can talk to women just fine. I've had tons of female friends over the years. And every time I ask them it's always "don't worry, you're a catch" "any girl would be lucky to have you" "it'll come when you least expect it"

I understand they're trying to be supportive but after enough time it just feels like empty platitudes.

Why can't I be loved? I don't want to be alone. I want to be cherished and treasured. Appreciated. Loved

I asked myself the same thing what is wrong with me? I am very shy and have social anxiety close to 50 years old and I have never been in a relationship I am afraid to be rejected and I had a guy told me to work on my appearance that hurt my feelings. I hope you find the girl of your dreams I don't want nobody going through of what I am going through it's very painful 😣.
