Feeling overwhelmed by body insecurity and struggling with thoughts of inferiority

I have been feeling insecure and inferior for years and couldn't stop it any way. The main source of this problem is my body. I'm a slim man and this affects me quite badly. I have lost my identity due to it. I'm neither as pretty as a woman nor as muscular and big as a man.
I really don't know what kind of creature I am!!

Women and girls are torturing me! When I see them, I feel so insecure that sometimes suicidal thoughts come to my mind! They threaten my identity and put my existence under question. I'm inadequate and small.

I usually don't go out to avoid seeing people because when I saw them, they ruin my mental health! I have to go back home and cry! I wish I hadn't been born! I envy other men! They look like a proper man, big, muscular, heavy and strong!

Sometimes I envy my own car! It is so big and heavy! It doesn't feel inferior in front of other cars. It has power and confidence. I envy it! I wish I was a car :((

This feeling of inferiority is killing me! I can't do anything anymore! I hate myself! I think I don't deserve anything because I'm not a human being.
I just want to listen to music and sleep all the time. I don't have a life! I can't go out. I can't work, I can't have friends, I avoid seeing people! They make me look like crap! I believe at this point, my life needs to come to an end. I have lived enough and don't need to continue suffering like this.

Go to therapy, dude. Speak to your GP. This isn’t normal thinking and you are unwell.

My husband is built like a whippet and weighs not much more than I do - he is still a man. Women and girls are NOT torturing you by existing, they are just living their lives. You sound very unwell so I would see a doctor.

Thanks for your reply. Therapy didn't work for me. What about becoming a transgender? Does that help me to get rid of my inferior self?
