u/Additional_Hornet_20

M(28) I have no confidence because I'm an average looking, below average height guy.

Dating makes me feel inadequate because I don't look good. I'm really introverted and don't talk much. I'm not charismatic. I'm on the lower side of average(5'8). Basically I have no desirable qualities except being nice and having a respectable job(although it's not that high paying).

I'm even starting to become slowly resentful of people in relationships and it's weighing on me. So i cant say I'm a good person anymore. I focus too much on my appearence so I seem to be developing body dysmorphia or it's just low self esteem. I don't know at this point.

I approached dating on a positive note since last year but after 4 rejections and one short term fling. I simply believe I'm just subpar when it comes to this. My friends go on a date and NEVER get rejected. Some even have women chasing them while they reject them. I'm the only one getting this much rejections it seems.

My mood is at all all time low. Time seems to be running out(I'm in my late 20s). Should i just give up and focus on therapy?

I'm an average looking guy but I feel like I belong here

I feel and am invisible in social, work and dating aspects of my life. 1 year on dating apps I managed to get 1 short term relationship. Just one. I'm often times the running joke in most friend groups and I just recently got denied a raise.

It's blatantly obvious women dont find average looking men attractive UNLESS the man is extremely charismatic or they just happened to grow to like each other through work or hobbies. Sadly I don't get any chances to prove myself like this.

I really feel like average is the new ugly.
