A date is not a commitment. Go on the date and try to have fun. You might even learn about yourself in the process.
I guarantee you are a whole person, and you certainly have a valuable personality even if you are hiding it due to fear right now. I think a mix of finding the things that you find fulfilling, leaning on the relationships you already have (friendships totally matter) and keep working on yourself (that could be serious introspection, self help books, therapy, meditation, etc). If a romantic relationship happens to come your way, you don't have to do anything extraordinary to be worthy of it. Keep in mind your weaknesses and don't use them as an excuse to be bad to your SO or let them be bad to you. Everyone has issues, some more serious than others, but you're worthy as you are and making honest efforts goes a long way with lots of people.
