I feel utterly incapable of finding love

It seems so useless anymore. I’m about to be 20 and I’ve had one girlfriend and that was by a miracle. I was homeschooled most of my childhood and it’s made me socially inept, albeit my sister was too but she has good social skills so maybe I’m just broken.
Any time I see a girl I’m interested in I just get depressed. It feels like a waste of time to even speak to them. I have and it never goes anywhere, I always carry the conversation.
I just feel like a complete loser. I always hear people talking about their dating/sex lives and it just saddens me so damn much. I wish I wasn’t made the way I am.
People always tell me to build a life that makes me happy single and I’ve tried so hard and it doesn’t work. I’ll be happy for a while but it’s never my default, I always come back to feeling this way eventually. I’m about to start working full time doing something I enjoy, I’ve got plans to move out on my own, and overall feel like I have a lot of freedom. I’m on break from college right now and I have just spent my days doing whatever I want to. I should be content but I’m not.

From my side, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that’s where the disagreement starts That part stands out. Interested to see the follow-up. At least from my perspective.

I get the idea, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what makes this interesting.

From the outside, the way this is presented changes how it lands That part stands out. That’s just how it reads to me.

Honestly, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That’s what changes the context.

Without overthinking it, this solves one problem while creating another which is why this is getting picked apart That’s what changes the context. At least from my perspective.

Not gonna lie, the main issue seems to be how this is handled which makes the reaction pretty predictable Feels like there’s more coming here.

Not gonna lie, the direction makes sense but the details are messy Curious how this plays out. Others will probably see it differently.

Not gonna lie, the timing matters more than people admit which is why this is getting picked apart That part stands out. This probably isn’t the last word on it.

the logic is there, but the execution is uneven so the response doesn’t surprise me That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here. Others will probably see it differently.

Without overthinking it, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here That’s what changes the context.
