Why is this?

Admittedly I have a few mental issues with depression, I’m slightly short (5 foot 8) and I’m kind of young (21) so those might weigh against me.

Without realizing it, you walk around broadcasting vibes of "Ignore me - I'm not worth your attention."

Half of these are just bullshit everyone says about themselves at a JOB INTERVIEW and comletely irrelelvant in the context of getting a gf. Girls don't fuckin care that your biggest weakness is that you're a hard worker who works too hard, or what your grades were in high school.

The other half sounds like your family members blowing smoke up your ass. If you really were charismatic you'd be rizzing girls up no issue.

Maybe you're the kind of guy who only goes after like hot blonde Staceys all the time because you only think with your dick when it comes to girls.

Possible but I feel I’m generally quite good at “masking” it.

Well I mean more in the sense that people praise me for actually acting on my ambitions and being able to get things done when they need to be done. Not just that I’m hardworking in some vague way.

the charismatic part is mostly in the context of how I can get people engaged in conversations and get them to laugh very easily regardless of who they are or even if I really like them. This applies to women as well but it never crosses into anything romantic.

I don’t really go after super hot girls either, I mainly just like girls who are interesting to talk to or who it feels fun to be around. Appearance wise I have some very soft preferences but also find myself attracted to around 70% of girls I see.

I think people should just post this everywhere to answer all dating threads.
