I feel unconfident, lonely, unsociable

...See more Hello, I am 20 years old and I am a student in Computer Science (second year). I have always been a pessimistic person, with little confidence in myself, and I also had very few friends till now. Even though highschool was a little better, because I made some friends, I was still a very depressed person. I have also suffered from OCD for a period of time (I don't think it had completely disappeared, but it had changed to something more acceptable or so I think..which is the desire for perfection). Still, this had made me so competitive that I think it is destroying me piece by piece. I am unable to get a relationship with a guy (I had only one till now and it lasted no more than a month), I am not confident in myself, because I see all the people around me that are so smart and seem to handle everything so well and easy, while I try so hard to make only a small thing work.  I have recently gained an internship at a company, but I am unable to fulfill my duty, because I don't know what to do, I don't understand these things and I don't know where to start from. I see everyone around me so happy and able to complete their tasks, while I am not able to do a small part of it. I am afraid to ask, because I will look stupid, especially because these things have been explained to me at the beginning. I can't stop thinking that I am not suited for this domain and that I am stupid because I cannot do what people around me do so easily. I feel very down and can't realize what to do in order to become more positive and gain more confidence in myself.
