<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Well, I don't want to make it a sob story or a karma4sympathy sort of post, but I'm a 22 year old sikh guy, beard and turban and have never had a girlfriend. Its just depressing sort of that all my friends have had multiple girlfriends already (not saying I want multiple, a single girlfriend or just a friend would be perfect, (have lots of guy friends)). 

I'm 6' tall, i guess more of an athletic skinny-muscle build and I tie my beard up. I used to find my beard and turban a huge set back for me, but not anymore, I'm fine with the way I look. 

I have had a couple friends who are girls, but not many. Its not even that I'm too shy (well I kind of am), i just can't really hold up a conversation well and have no idea where to find girls. Even with guys I can't hold up a conversation with them, unless we're talking about girls or school.

One of my friends (a girl) she told me straight up that a lot of girls will be turned off because of the whole beard and turban, so this also plays a factor into why I automatically assume a girl would never be interested in me.

At university I'm in class, a place where you're generally just listening to the prof, or I'm in the library where you can't talk to girls either. For me I generally assume that every girl is taken and completely just avoid even talking to them.

 Anyways I was wondering if the turban and beard are large factors into why a girl would not be interested in me. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
