I'm 18 and I'm nowhere near close to having a romantically relationship, especially with college being online (at least mine for now) . I know I'm still young and statistically speaking I should be fine. However it still hurts to see many of my friends have/had relationships or at least have healthy interactions with girls on a regular basis and I haven't had that yet. I won't meet anyone in school since it's online and I physically cannot get a job right now (recovering from surgery). I like this one girl from my church and she's probably the only option right now but we rarely talk outside of church and our chemistry isn't the greatest. Girls pretty much never show interest in me (and they usually drop me quickly if they do). I'm not the most attractive guy in the world, have some serious communication issues, and I'm just worried I will not find anyone. I know I still have time but at this point with all my failed interactions and rejections, I find it hard to believe that some girl will choose me over other better candidates to spend their life with. I can't wrap my head around that.

You're at a crazy time in your life in an equally crazy time for the world. I'm sure theres a lot of shit going on in your head seeing as how we have so much time to be alone with our thoughts.
I dont have much in terms of advice but I'll tell you what I can. Confidence is pretty hot, looks are surface level when you're in person and talking one on one. It's the confidence that really shines through. A great mindset to have during a one on one is seeing if you like her past her looks. Ask her questions and see if YOU like what's inside, this way it's easier to stop trying to impress her and just be you. If a girl doesnt bite then dont sweat it, that was a sinking ship.
Theres more people all over the place with so many different personalities, I'd recommend going on some kind of trip when the end of the world stops. Get out there and see what life has to offer. Dont let your faults hold you back, when you find that special someone they wont hold those faults against you. Hell, they might even become precious to them.
You're capable of so much. I'll believe that if you dont even if you should. Keep your head up or your crown will fall
ReplyBeing 18 and in college is an already stressful time. I worried about my social interactions so much throughout high school and college, because I was already an introvert and there weren't really many options for friends, let alone relationships. I think the reason why I was able to get over that and find some good friends and a boyfriend was because I realized that being single wasn't as awful as some people made it seem and that I was worth more than throwing myself at whatever guy gave me a little bit of attention. I also think that what is meant to be yours will come, and it's all about timing.
Believing in your worth as an individual is so much more important than trying to get someone else to see it.
