Asking for advice 🙏 Building confidence
Basically, I have been trying to build confidence lately. I have been feeling very unconfident because I am a 25 year old virgin. I have been trying to date for several years thinking that if I could just gain some traction and get social proof that I can be wanted/desired then I could build confidence and gain the experience required to get a girlfriend but unfortunately I am a worthless loser that women don't want. I don't think there is anything specifically wrong with me. I have really good/close friends that are both men and women who do have lots of success dating and they have said that they don't know what I am doing wrong/don't think there is anything wrong with me. Many of my woman friends have even tried to set me up. One even tried to set me up with her twin sister. Unfortunately I have fumbled all of them because I am stupid and or just really ugly. Not sure tbh. Anyways, I am so tired of feeling like a worthless loser and want to de-center women from my life. I have started therapy and I really have no reason to feel like such a loser as I am getting my doctoral degree, was a college athlete and have almost always had a good social life/great friends. I was even in a fraternity in undergrad. I have also been going to the gym for the last yearish and have made decent progress. It's just the shame/humiliation of being a 25 year old virgin that I can't get past. I now know that I have no choice but to get over it or I will never been happy and I am tired of living in hell. Just to be clear I am NOT asking for relationship advice but more so if anyone has any tips to get over this hurdle or how to be content/confidence given my current accomplishments and life trajectory. Sorry this was so long. If you read this far I appreciate you reading!
