I won the match, but I think I got extremely lucky during the end game. Could someone point out the blunders that I made?

So, nothing new, I got ghosted by a love interest. Just like I got ghosted by friends. That's nothing new. But my question is: How do I stop giving a fuck about others' rejection and actually stop rejection from destroying my self-esteem?

I started talking to someone I met on a dating app and we had a nice conversation, we were joking, being a bit flirty and everything was going fine. But now that I have revealed my face to the person, I feel incredibly insecure. They didn't comment about the pic neither positively or negatively, but my brain interprets it as if they find me unattractive. I'm confident enough to send a picture of my face, but I experience such insecurity once I do.

I kinda don't wanna ask: 'You don't find me attractive?' cause I don't want to appear insecure. But I don't know what to do.

I'm a male. I just shaved my butt, first using an electric trimmer and then a razor blade, but I couldn't really get all the hairs on my crack. What should I do?

No matter what I do, my mixes still sound like trash.

Some elements, such as the hats sound much louder than they should while others, like the bass, sound weak and almost as if they aren't present at all. I'm not sure if I know how to use compression, although I know its purpose, it seems like I'm using it wrong. It's either two of these things: an element is either too quiet (weak) or it's clipping. Reference tracks didn't help, that is, I don't know how to utilise a reference track to balance my own mix.

How do you actually balance your mixes (how to have elements be as present as they should be)?

I've read a lot of posts saying the best decision would be to avoid labels, but I've been self-releasing and I still don't have a dedicated audience. It seems impossible to market yourself without someone doing that instead of you. Submitting to curators ended up being a waste of time: rejection after rejection. What do you recommend as music producers?

I'll be short. After processing (EQing, distortion and compression), my kick shows up on the dB graph as really 'quiet' compared to other elements, such as the bassline, whereas my ears tell me that the bassline is much less prominent that the kick. I know that decibels don't show how loud we perceive the sound per se, but why is the kick barely appearing on the graph? Is this a problem that'll affect my mix balance?
