I've seen literal tatted criminals trick women into relationships, OP.
You're not a lost cause, but you will need some confidence to get there. Hope you survive and move up in the world to give your kid the best possible life.

Sounds like maybe this is the only thing your mom doesn't understand.
Her assessment of most other stuff is on point though. You are NOT undatable. Relax. At least as much as you can. Doomering is your biggest problem. You've been drinking the poisoned blackpill Koolaid and that leads to a death spiral feedback loop.
