How do I work on my confidence and stop being an awkward loser?

Anonymous

Okay, so I’m 21 and never had a girlfriend, never even kissed anyone. Laugh all you want but it’s that bad. I’m the most awkward person ever and I think this is down to my confidence. I’m horrendous at meeting anyone new, let alone women I find attractive but I normally just ignore everyone I don’t know, don’t look or smile at them when walking past and ik this makes me come across like an arrogant prick, believe me I do but I just feel as if that is the best option. Rather than awkwardly smiling at them, if someone speaks to me first, then obviously I will talk back but it doesn’t mean I won’t stutter or embarrass myself with lack of social skills. I have never liked myself and always seen every new person as judging me on my looks (which ik sounds ridiculous) but it is what it is and therefore I’ve never had any confidence. I’m just looking for advice on how to improve this and not come across like an arrogant jerk even though ik I am all the time by just blanking most people at my work or in public that I don’t know. Best I can explain it lol
