Feeling insecure

I can’t help but compare myself to others. I am a 23 year old female from Middle East. I am an immigrant in Germany. I never had a father figure and I had an absent mother since she was the only breadwinner. Because of the things I mentioned, Highschool was very difficult for me and I dropped out the last year of Highschool. Now I am working in a very big and well developed grocery store in Berlin. We had a new coworker today and she is a 26 year old German girl. She is beautiful and all of the guys were constantly hitting on her and showering her with their attention. I couldn’t help but feel a bit off about myself. She is studying, has a car, is blond and has this very beautiful green eyes. She lives alone and seems like a independent person. I live with my family and we are poor.

I am getting back to my studies, I work out, and when I compare myself to who I was in the past I Realise how much I have achieved. But I will never be as desirable as a white woman. The chances of me finding love is so low since there are so many better “fishes” in the sea. AKA the German women who basically grew up in their own land, and are considered the most attractive and definitely have more stability than most immigrants.

What I am trying to say is, I realised nobody really hits on me, I have been working there for three month now and she just walked in today and all of the men were chasing after her. I felt jealous of how well she could speak German. I might not find love because I can’t compete with these girls. And there are so many of them. I feel like a failure, a loser and I don’t meet the beauty standards of the place I am living in.

Edit: thank you guys for taking your time to comment on my post. Getting things off of your chest, and hearing positive things really does help. So really thank you!
