I Have Relationship Troubles

So I REALLY like my girlfriend. She's my best friend and makes me very happy. But deep down inside a part of me hates her very much. She's just better than me in every way. She's better looking, smarter, is better socially and has a ton of friends whereas I have 2 friends and don't even ever hang out with them. I also have trouble making friends. Just anything you could think of she's better at it. I don't think she really realizes it but I'm basically a loser when it comes to being social. I'm extremely shy and it's hard for me to make friends. I have a very low self esteem and hate myself a lot. If I hate myself then why would she ever like me? I have trust issues because of that topic and I can't completely trust her and I'm scared one day she will just leave me because there are guys out there who are a hell of a lot better than me. I've been dealing with depression for years on my own and she's the only thing that makes me happy so I don't know what I would do if I ever lost her. She knows nothing about any of this because I'm too scared to tell her even though she could help me with being more social. I don't know what to do! I want to not feel this hatred towards her but I can't help it! 😭

It comes from lack of confidence and fear of self expression. The problem with society is the gender stereotypes. According to society we have to "man up" and bottle our emotions. Hence why men are 4 times more likely to fall into depression and commit suicide than women.
