I don't really know why it concerns or bothers me. I've never been a particularly attractive person, actually these days I could describe myself as an exceptionally unattractive person. But I feel like I've somehow failed to do something I ought to have in that. As if that was something to remedy a lack of value I ought to have had but don't. And I'm not even entirely sure where the problem of feeling this way actually lies, all I know is that me=no one, and appearance should be able to fix that in some way.

I just got my eyebrows waxed and it feels nice to have done something little to take care of myself.
I'm also not a particularly attractive person, and at times I want to do something really amazing to change the way I look, but at this point it's enough to go to work and take care of my family. The feeling comes and goes about wishing I was different, or in a relationship.
But, I recognize my own choices in where I am.
Like you. I know that in time I'll do what needs to be done to get back in the dating scene. Right now, things are ok.
Besides, dating has been nothing but a disappointment in the past. That's why I took a long break from it
It gave me the chance to take stock of myself and my goals, to pay attention to my interests, and not have to divest between another person competing for my time and attention.
I would heartily recommend taking that approach. There's no time limit you have to keep, only your own.
Do things that give you a sense of pride in yourself and you can look at and feel like you accomplished something you needed to.
Who knows, maybe it's yourself and preparing yourself for dating?
