How do you move on when you realize a parent doesn't love you.

I have had a rocky relationship with my parents. After years of trying to get my dad to love me I am finally ready to accept that he does not and isn't interested in me. He never reaches out, and he came up for a family get together and didn't ask me a single question about how I was doing, and he didn't say goodbye before he left. It hurts a lot to accept that there is nothing I can do to make my dad love me.

I also struggle to make friends. I am not 100% sure why. I know I struggle with social skills but have been in therapy and reading every self help book I can to improve. All I want is for someone's mom to have some pity on me and take me under their wing. However, the rejection I've faced my whole life makes me feel like I'm not worth being loved and I'm not good enough for anyone.

I wasn't sure if anyone has dealt with this and is now on the other side and what might help. I would appreciate perspective on my situation. I am 22. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and if you do so, to respond. Thank you.
