I am a male with 2D : 4d of about 1.05, don't care to measure but my index fingers are definitely longer. Apparently normal for men is 0.95 and women 0.97. If I put one over the other from the other hand as that picture I shows I get about 10% longer on one hand and about equal on the other.

Things about me: I am super anxious about everything. Which really sucks since men aren't supposed to be anxious, but it is fine after I accepted that I'll die alone. Women aren't attracted to anxious men and it gets even worse that I'd have to overcome my anxiousness probably hundreds of times for anything to ever happen. Just doing it a single time feels like death.

Anyway, there are plenty of fun stuff to do as a loner today so I'm reasonable happy, probably not far from as happy I can be given how overly anxious I am. Being anxious usually doesn't lead to healthy relationships so even if I did go through all that work most likely it would just end up like shit and I'd be way more miserable than now.

High levels of anxiety can be treated by appropriate counselling and therapy. You could try it and experience how it improves your confidence and happiness.

I went to therapy for many years, it helped a bit so I'm no longer suicidal but I doubt it will get much better.

You may find that magnesium taken at night may help. Be aware, I'm not a medical professional. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/magnesium-the-most-powerf_b_4...
