I'm 26/m. I was in a pretty decent space life wise right before COVID hit. I have always had some confidence issues with girls but I hit a decent streak off dating apps by the end of 2019 and was feeling pretty good about myself. Felt like I could maybe be a catch. I also had some pretty bad health issues in 2019, took me a big portion of the year to resolve them. I was in between jobs and this stalled my career. Finally, 2020 I was ready to apply to new jobs and continue upwards.
Then, the lockdowns hit. Getting hired has become like the 13th labor of Heracles. Thankfully my financial situation means I can withstand that but unemployed is not a good look regardless. My mental health has been terrible, just like a lot of people. I started on anti-anxiety medication so alcohol isn't an option as a social lubricant. The one thing I always had going for me is I'm a gym nut and my physique helped with girls but with gyms closed most of the time I've lost a ton of muscle.
I feel like a completely different person now. A year ago I was confident, kinda jacked, healthy in body and mind and my career prospects were looking good. Now I've lost most of that. Objectively when I look at myself, I wouldn't want to date me, and that says it all right? Anyone else feel the same way?
