Well I feel that now my life has gotten to the point where I actually need psychological help from a professional and I need some opinions on the matter.

 

I'll try to keep this short and simple. I am in a situation of a continual feeling of worthlessness and depression due to a long stretch of loneliness. I live on my own by myself and have no had a girlfriend, or even a date in over 2 years. I'm 25 years old, have pretty much everything I want in life and am on track for great success (good career, nice apartment, etc), except I have been lacking the human need for companionship and it's psychologically messed me up bad.

 

The root of the problem is that this is like a system with positive feedback. The more lonely I get, the more it shows in my persona and day to day life, the less social I am, the less successful I am trying to talk to women I get, then I feel even more worthless and lonely... the the cycle continues and I perceptually get worse and worse. I have no idea what I need to do to break this cycle.

If you want to see a professional you should just go do it.

I agree... and the key word is in your thread title.. victim... That's the part you might want to look at. I've suffered depression on and off in my life and the only person who can change it is you. It does help a lot to get someone else's take on it, especially a professionals.
