There's a truth that is very challenging for a lot of people, me included. It goes like this.
To get what you want, you have to do what it takes to get it. You can't always go straight for it; sometimes you have to build the road before you can ride it.
Building that road means you have to get out of the car and work on the road. Nobody thinks road workers (allegorically and otherwise) are "cool", but nobody would deny how critically we need them. Like everyone else who is in your shoes - and I was there too - you have to put down your desire to be cool, alpha, popular, and get laid every night if you want to clear out the reasons for your hardship. You will never, ever achieve success unless and until you do.
So it's time for you to stop worrying about other people and what they think, and start making yourself what you are capable of being. You may have to put down women altogether. So be it. You need that foundation. Otherwise, you're going to stay miserable for the rest of your life, pretending to have what everyone else wants and thinks is cool, while you never get what you want and need, and what makes you genuinely happy.
Build that road. The worry about which car to drive on it. I can tell you from personal experience, the rewards are incredible when you do.
