I am from Pakistan and I was raised in a pretty strict religious and over protective environment. I first time left home alone when I was 15. Now 23. I had no close friends until 9th grade. Had zero socializing until I went to medical college. I had zero interaction with women. In school van girls started talking to me and even gave me smiles and compliments which is considered a very big thing in Pakistan and my peers use to be jealous of me but I could not made it anything out of it because I did not knew what to do. I also have many mental health problems like anxiety depression perfectionism and ADHD . When I see myself in the mirror I see a guy who is clearly in the top 5 percent of male population in looks or may be even more but this gives me depression that I am not the most handsome guy in the world. I had been told cute and handsome by several women and I have seen women going crazy over my looks where they could just not stop themselves from looking at me but deep down I feel women were just superficially attracted and will not choose me because they want guys who are leaders and chill and although I am quite funny but not class clown and not always in a mood to make jokes, although I have been in several leadership roles where I was quite daring and no body could have done that all I get was awkward responses from women this made me even more confused cause when other guys do it it helps them but when I do it do not help. I also had a pretty fucked up interaction with women the first women that showed a clearly bold interest me was my class fellow she was the one pursuing me but I am too insecure cause one time she looked at another guy and I felt if I am being cheated and one day when she was teaching some guys I felt so jealous that I went up to her called her sister and rejected her subtly. The next time a women approached me I also felt cheated because she was approaching both me and my best friend.
I had this deep fear of being cheated that I could not stop myself from worrying. Another women started talking to me but when I escalated things she backed of but once she saw another women waving to me she never talked to me. I know I live in a weird environment and I seen this pattern that when I don't show overconfidence which I am famous for despite my anxieties and worries, and come of humble women show more interest and act interested but when other guys shows confidence it helps them I am quite confused.
I also messed things up with a girl who sent her friend with a message that she has a crush on me and I felt quite weird and threatened and ignored that girl because of my fears.
I think I need to work on a lot of things
Kindly someone helps and especially guys with similar stories and mental health problems
So far my success is that I have developed a quite good control over my emotions with therapy and stoic philosophy but now I am out of money and cannot afford it anymore
Had developed a pretty decent physique where at least I can admire myself before perfectionism takes over
Developed quite a good overall social reputation and image
Had approached a girl which I find quite attractive and the things are going slowly according to world standards which infuriates me
