Sounds like you are in a lot of pain. And you have been for a long time. And you've tried to fix things and it hasn't worked. I do understand the place where you are. It really is not a nice place.
There are people in the world who do care about you (How many people have answered your post so far? Your parents care. I'm betting that there are other people you know who care (and you may not even know that they care - but they do)).
Please don't give up now - I have found that a change in therapist, and medication changes, have taken me from the same place you are in (intolerable pain with no hope of improvement) to a place where I see hope and I am even able to see progress. To make that change, I had to take what felt like enormous risks - but at that point, the outcome couldn't have been much worse than what I was living with already.
I find it impossible to believe that you are truly "unlikable". Every person has good points and bad points. You just need to find someone who appreciates your good points. Do you know what your good points are? One of your good points is that you are willing and able to ask for help when you need it. What are your other good points?
