Your Dad sounds like a bully.
One thing thats stuck with me is that in this atomized modern world, that the true value of friends and family that care about you. So while you can buy a cake from a bakery for yourself, you will get no joy eating it by yourself.
But you can't put the weight on others to give you a reason to live. You're enough of a reason to live and thrive.
From your description I would first focus on friends, being a good friend, having friends, planning things with friends. Focusing in the romantic after being secure in socializing with peers. Once you do focus on the romantic, I would say be upfront, don't try to be someone you're not, if you're not set up by friends, and the other person has no clue about you, on the first or second date the say your waiting till marriage. Its kryptonite for some, but not for all.
So in your view Scrooge from Dickens Christmas tale is living his best life at the start of the classic and is left worse off by the story's conclusion?
