Dealing with something like that early on, when you have no positive frames of reference with women to balance it out and give it perspective, drastically holds you back. In financial terms, it's called "risk management". I continued trying for girls afterwards, asking them out etc. but it never panned out.

I don't want to keep feeding your negativity so this is my last post on this subject.
Find a way to get where you want to be. You'll either make it or you won't, but if you don't try, you definitely won't.
