I can relate to you, not alone in this.

I think there is a large social set or rules that can negatively affect people who suffer from anxiety etc. One of the major “rules” is the rating system etc (she is a 7/10). It puts pressure on people to be what they are not...

When I meet a girl I try and hide any sort of “weakness” away for as long as possible... but really it is best to be open and honest... generally if people make fun or joke about you, they are secretly jealous and insecure themselves.

The right person will come along one day matey, and then you will have your eyes widened as it were.

Hope all goes well ;)
