I’m 26M. For the last year I think my mental health has been in decline. I can usually tell because I’m a weirdly counter intuitive way, I become super focused on self care.

I’ve been reading Marcus Aurelius. Meditating. Working out 5x a week. Eating a super clean diet. Not drinking. Focusing on my job. Listening to podcasts on self development.

I’ve come on holiday with my mates today and I’ve realised, I have no self confidence at all. Especially with women. There’s a lot of pressure on me to pull as I’m one of the only single ones and I can’t. I just can’t do it in clubs and bars. I’m too awkward with strangers. I feel super self conscious at the moment and feel like I’m ugly. I worry I’m boring. So I just kinda turn around and go somewhere else whenever my mates try to pull me into a conversation with a girl. They’ve pointed out this too

It’s really getting me down. I’m incredibly lonely. I don’t feel like I’m ever going to find a partner. I don’t have any confidence in the way I look.

I really don’t know what to do. This whole holiday is already getting to me and I’ve only been here a day.

Does anyone have any advice on this? Because I’m not sure how I can survive being told I’m boring and they ‘don’t believe I’ve had sex before coz I can’t talk to women’

Please can I have some help. Sorry if this seems really self pitying but I don’t know how else to deal with this anymroe
