How can they if they never interact with me? Then when they do I'm friendly, helpful, and kind? Everyone I interact with regularly likes me(except dad, but that's a whole other thing).

I get told by guests at work that they enjoy talking with me, and that I'm very welcoming and approachable. All my coworkers like me, and I've been told by management several times that I'm the go to person they want to deal with people due to my friendliness. The thing is, despite all that none of them have ever taken the time to get to know me. When I try to talk, I get cut off and and interrupted. No one cares about me, or who I am. I'm just a tool to be used.

I really doubt that every person perception is so sharp that they can see through all of that directly to my internalized damage at a glance without ever interacting with me. I'm sure some probably are, bug I work with the public. I can see how unintuitive most people are.

I can see how they might figure it if they did try to get to know me, and how they might be put off by that, but they don't.

I've been in your shoes (believe me, it is/was a huge insecurity of mine), and I know for certain you can find someone, you just gotta look. How? I have no idea; I have no social skills and just got lucky on dating sites.

But also keep in mind that relationships are quite difficult, and chances are they're not going to be the happy fairy tale romance shit people display out in public and on TV.
