I am depressed

It snuck up on me. Over the last 24-48 hours I've been feeling awful mentally. But maybe awful is the wrong word for it - it's more like I don't feel much of anything yet am overwhelmed by emotion at the same time. This afternoon I even wondered why my life was worth continuing at all, the first time doing so in quite a while. Part of me is lonely, but the rest of me is resigned to that simply never changing - I'm neither tall enough nor good looking enough nor 'useful' enough for women to consider anything other than a threat regardless of what I do. I'm so tired... maybe sleeping forever wouldn't be so bad.

The people who care about height, or are picky about looks, or how "useful" someone is sounds pretty shallow and quite frankly anyone who thinks those qualities are the most important in a relationship have probably never been in a long term relationship. Chemistry, communication and character matter more.

Height doesn't matter. Looks don't matter, as long as you take care of yourself, and useful doesn't matter if the people involved are capable of being independent adults. And In this modern age, you can hire anyone to do things from a car mechanic, housekeeping, remodeling, accounting, etc. You hardly have to be good at everything.

In conclusion, you're fine. Keep looking. Take a day to yourself if you need it. Someday you'll meet a sweetheart who loves you for yourself.
