What girl would actually want me?

Try and like yourself a little more....there is a lot of good looking guys out there who are idiots
Maybe if you try and get off a bit of weight..and maybe contact lenses instead of the glasses.

I am a bit over weight but working on it...it can be hard to get motivated but when you start to like yourself a little more it helps..and in the end you will feel more confident and that can help you overcome some other issues you might have.

If you're only 25, it's too early to be so pessimistic about it...

25 isn't too early to be pessimistic about it. I mean, most people, male or female, would consider someone who has been single that long creepy or maladjusted. It seems the general rule is, if you found at least one person by the time you're 18, you're okay. But if not, you're a hideous freak of nature.

When is it time to start getting pessimistic about it? I'm 30. No girlfriend, never had one. Should I start worrying?

Falling in love with a girl? How does that even work? Do you poke each other in the heart with your thumbs hoping something will suddenly happen? Seriously, wtf? What is love? What's the correct way to love somebody?

A girl who is also overweight, has no job or car, lives with her mother, thinks about sex too much, wears glasses, and has social phobia would probably consider you a match made in heaven! But it may be difficult to find such a girl. Of course, all of the things in your post are things that you can change, although some may take longer or be more difficult than others. For example, if you are overweight, you can get into a regular habit of dieting and exercise. Not only will it make you more attractive, but it will make you infinitely more healthy, and you will feel better and have greater self-esteem. You do have to keep it up once you lose the weight though, that's why you have to make a habit of it once you make the appropriate lifestyle changes. If you don't like wearing glasses, you can switch to contacts. Those in my opinion are the two easiest aspects to change, that you can start on right away. Losing the weight may take a while, but adopting a healthier lifestyle doesn't . To get rid of acne/facial scars, I'd recommend trying some over-the-counter acne medication and maybe some facial creams, and seeing a dermatologist if they don't help.

If you have severe social phobia, I'd recommend seeing a therapist, perhaps try to get some medication for it also. It may take a lot of effort on your part to make any noticeable progress, but it is indeed treatable (I used to have terrible social anxiety a few years ago, now it's almost a thing of the past). For the job/car situation, that depends more on your personal situation. Do you have any education or work experience? If not, then I'd suggest either trying to obtain some in whatever field you would like to work in, or look for a good job that doesn't really require any (I always recommend construction in this case, it's really hard work but it's very stable with good pay). And with a job, you solve 3 of those issues at once: employment, car, and living arrangements! Albeit you may have to work a while and save up some money first.

You say that you want someone to love you as you are, but how can they, when you don't seem to love yourself? That's step #1: developing a positive self-image! Not to mention, in relationships people want to be with someone who is self-sufficient and is able to take good care of themselves. And just note that all of these things take time, they will not happen overnight. And you may not be able to change all of them. But if you could even change just one, that would be an improvement, would it not?
