Hey I’m 23, never had a girlfriend in my life. I have absolutely no idea what to do now. I’m happy to share photos of myself so people can see if I’m ugly or not

Hi Bobbyoz, Thank you for your post. It sounds like you...

Hi Bobbyoz,

Thank you for your post. It sounds like you are feeling lost at the moment and we are glad you have been able to post here amidst a tough time. You are not alone in feeling the sense of pressure to have a partner by a certain age, especially if we have friends in partnerships.

It sounds like you may have a strong inner critic, too. It can be really good to reflect on why we might be feeling how we’re feeling. Maybe having a look at other’s experiences of self-criticism and negative thinking might be useful. There’s an article on that topic on the Beyond Blue site, here: When your inner critic is giving you a tough time

If you ever want to talk, you can always call our support line to talk this through, on 1300 22 4636, or via webchat 24/7: https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/get-immediate-support

Thank you for sharing this and giving this community a chance to offer you their understanding and advice. We want to reiterate that you are not alone in this - we are here for you.

Kind regards,
Sophie M
