I feel so behind that I’ll never find love

TW: Drugs / Alcohol

I’m turning 16 next week and it’s really making me think about everything, I’ve never kissed a girl, never held hands with a girl, never been on a date, never even had a girl show interest in me. All my friends poke jokes about it, and I realize how inexperienced and behind everyone else I am. All my friends have been in multiple relationships, all my friends have kissed before, all my friends have been on several dates in their lives. I’ve never even thought of having one. I know I’m pretty young, but does that really matter when almost every other teen my age has done all these things? No one wants to date the guy that’s never experienced anything. It’s not even like I can try and change that anymore, I’m forced into online classes no matter how much I beg my parents to let me go to real school. I have no way to meet girls near me anymore, everyone I try to approach just brushes me off. I feel so stuck and like I’m destined to die alone. I have no plan for college and really no plan for the future. I know it is majorly my fault that I will never experience any of these things, but trying to come to terms with it is really hard. Used to smoke and drink whenever I thought about these things, so it was easy to forget, but every year around my birthday and when I’m sober, I have to think about these things. Again, I know I’m young but everyone else has done it all, and they don’t wanna waste their time with the guy that hasn’t done anything. I don’t care for advice or anything, tips on accepting it would be nice, but I don’t really care. I just want to get this off my mind, cause it plagues me constantly. I’ve always been a loving person and I have so so much love to give, but I have to force it away and devote it to something else instead of someone.
