I'm sorry you're having such a rough time, friend. But I want you to know that you're not ugly, and you are worthy of love, real love--someone to hold your hand and help get things steady. Just remember that the apps attract a certain kind of guy--the sort who just want a hook-up and nothing deep. Also, I've found, the sort who can be very judgmental and cruel.
I do worry about you and those apps, friend--I worry that your being on them is just reinforcing your struggles with yourself, in a negative way . . . that your experiences on there are creating self-fulfilling prophecies? Do you have any other outlets for social connections? (Here, for example?) I know that doesn't meet the need for sheer physical closeness with someone, but . . . I think if you're wanting to find a guy who wouldn't run, you know, who's looking for a deep relationship where that trust can be formed, you may have to look elsewhere than the apps.
And / or . . . How about meeting yourself halfway and looking for friends first? It's sounding to me like what you might want or need, more than anything, is just a solid, stable relationship of some kind--a really good friend, for example. Just someone to help get you through the rough parts. Meeting a good friend . . . taking the pressure off of the sexuality piece for a little bit . . . just focusing on taking other positive steps. Getting yourself some support.
I know what it is to be lonely and to feel like you're not desirable or that you'd just scare people away. Believe you me. You're not alone there, friend, not by a long shot.
I hope by the time you read this you're feeling a bit better. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, okay?
