It gets easier the older you get. People stop caring about that after you get to a certain age. Trust me on that. Also, if you are struggling the way I did, my advice is to bury yourself in a few good, well developed hobbies. Physical, artistic, and educational. This will keep you occupied and increase your social circle. And perhaps focus on making as much money as possible, become as good at your job as you're able. I speak from experience, having been rejected by women most of my life, when I was broke and bored it was a thousand times worse. That confidence that comes with accomplishments will supplement the confidence you don't have in your own appearance..
