Very similar situation to my friend! Can't move up in career, working at a dead end job, women either ghost him or are rude when he talks to them.

The unlovable part really hit the nail on the head. I can't begin to explain what a lack of relationship and sex life has done to him. He questions EVERYTHING about himself because of this. "Maybe I'm ugly" "Maybe I'm a bad talker" "Maybe I'm not smart enough"
