Is it normal to feel like i don't deserve a relationship?

I am a guy who is short and skinny (5'7" and 160 pounds). I feel physically inadequate to call myself a man. My cousin is 6 feet tall, over 200 pounds, and muscular, and I am so jealous of him. I wish I could be like him, but I am stuck being weak and tiny. I honestly have the body type and size of a typical woman, I feel so ashamed.

    So, i'm 5'7 and chubby it's not the end of the world, so yeah, there will be people that would refuse people based on being 5'7 but ( unless they're really tall themselves or something ) fuck them, confidence in yourself is far more important and attractive

    Plus no matter what type you are you're never going to be for everyone, that's just life and you have to accept that, i understand that's one step away from
    saying deal with it but you know what? It's true

    also this is where people tend to disagree on changing or accepting yourself as you are but after years of trying and failing to accept myself i put in a ton of work and lost a ton of weight and still am, if you really put your mind to it you can gain mass and get your ideal body it's within your power

    Change what you can, accept what you cannot.

    Go to the gym, get some muscles and gain confidence in yourself.

    As long as you don´t go for the girls that´s + 6 ft you are fine when it comes to dating.

    Try working out and getting some self esteem.

    Okay, so you don't like your body. How does this make you "undeserving" of a relationship? You didn't do anything wrong. You're cousin didn't do shit to grow taller than you. You deserve to be loved just as much as anyone else. It's important to know that, because otherwise you'll just keep putting yourself down.
    Also your body doesen't sound bad at all. There's still a ton of people shorter than you (especially women) and you're a pretty standard weight. I know a lot of guys with that body type who are in a happy relationship. I don't know who told you you have to be a tall beef-cake to get women, but they were totally wrong. There's plenty of girls who like normal sized men. I'm not saying this just to make you feel better. You really are totally fine, mate.
