Indy Texas's life is a miserable, irredeemable mess

Have you ever considered therapy? It's not a magic bullet, but it helps some people more than others. As for dating, have you tried online? I know there used to be a stigma attached to that, but it's not really the case anymore. Most people I know have an OkCupid or a Tinder account.

Have you ever considered therapy?

Can't speak for Indy, but as someone with many of the same issues, there is no way I could even consider just showing up somewhere and talking to a stranger. My campus has free services yet that somehow makes it even worse.

I tried therapy for a couple weeks and, while it was somewhat comforting, I didn't feel it improve my situation.

I've been in therapy for two years and my life has improved dramatically, but it is by an individual basis I guess. I'd still recommend at least trying it.

Yeah, it varies for sure. It didn't do anything for me when I was a teenager, but it helped one of my friends a lot. There's nothing to lose in trying it.
