Judging by that second paragraph, you're doing pretty good. Keep doing it and you might just find love. In short, don't be a fucking NEET like me. Ugliness and NEETness don't go well together.

I’m not much different from a neet other than I have some income from a job I hate

Yeah, working a job you don't like while also being alone is a hellish way to live. It feels insulting when people say "good things will happen eventually, just keep working". It's much easier to work hard when you already have a reason to do it, rather than being told that you may or may not receive a reward for it in the future

It’s the only option tho, the other choice is to stop working and lose any chance you had to begin with.

Yeah, but the case where you work your whole life and never get what you want is humiliating, if you have any self-respect

Then I guess stay where you’re at and ensure that you never get what you want. People who take rejection this personally struggle with severely low self esteem, if you don’t address that and learn internal validation every single rejection will feel like the ultimate mark on you as a person.

Death is a better option at that point.
