Feeling Depressed
I’m a 22 year old extremely depressed man. I was on the verge of committing suicide many times.
I’m a short (5’1) not very attractive man. And throughout my life, every girl that I’ve liked not only didn’t like me back, but they’d actively make an attempt to show their disinterest in me. If I was around them, or tried to talk, they’d actively ignore me. I can’t tell you how much it hurts when a girl you really really like does that to you. It ruins your confidence to another level. It messes with your mind. It makes you feel worthless and unwanted. It makes you feel pathetic. At 22, never having been in love, and seeing my friends and family finding partners, falling in love is the most depressing thing ever. My heart hurts so much.

Sounds like you are in a difficult situation. Seeing others experience love and not being part of it can really hurt. I've definitely been there one too many times myself.
What id like to tell myself when i was 20s was that men tend to get more attractive when they get older. And woman are less fortunate in that area, so sooner or later the tables will turn.😉 And im not gonne show a stranger pictures of myself, but if you would see me at 16, 20, 24, 28 and now 33 you'd understand. I went from ewww, to meh, to ok, to good, to wow. Things change man. Every year you learn new hygiene, fitness, style, tricks etc and every year you gain value in social skills, salary, stability and every other area in life that makes you more and more attractive and complete as a partner.
Not today, not tomorrow, maybe not even this year, but just hang in there and keep your head up. Time is in your favor, your turn will come.
