>>83724 (OP)Ask yourself "Why do I want friends/a girlfriend?". Chances are that you just want external validation from other people. Which can be very destructive for you and make you into a cuck who'll do anything for a crumb of attention
You must, fortunately or not, learn to accept and value yourself. No one can help you with that as much as you can, and society works in such a way that it discourages any kind of weakness. Basically people would rather talk to someone who's confident than someone who seems like a wailing mess.
You can start by journaling or writing down things you're thankful for everyday. Meditation is also good.
You HAVE to also realize that you can do anything you want in this life and that if you have the courage and discipline you can achieve your goals. If you fail, try again. As someone who was a depressed, anxious mess, I can tell you that living with constant scrutiny fucks you up, and you won't do anything if you listen to the voice in your head. Try not thinking about and starting off by doing small things against your "judgement" in life.
Those are the things that helped me, and I hope they help you too.
<If that is not the issue, then you can look up places to talk online or trying to hit it off with someone irl. If you see a pattern in your relationships, try asking the person or yourself what did you do to worsen it. If you don't see anything, it could just be the person you were with that was the problem
<Still, I would recommend being by yourself for a while in your position. You could improve yourself and engage in things YOU like, without anyone judging you for it. It's uncomfortable and sad at first, but it's better to learn to appreciate yourself than to feel the pain of rejection every time.
<And lastly, I want to ask you this:
>What do you like? >What are your hobbies?>What do you like doing in your spare time? >What interests you? >What are you good at?Think about that and respond if you can, because maybe it isn't as bad as you think.
