I need new friends to hangout with!!!

I’m a pretty introverted guy and I honestly struggle a lot with talking to strangers unless they approach me first or there’s a real reason to talk.

Most of my friendships happened because people “adopted” me 😅

The problem now is that my current friend circle has become kinda boring. Nobody wants to hang out, do stuff on weekends, travel, try new things, or even just go out randomly. Also, my circle is almost entirely male, so I never really meet new women either. I feel like the best chance of dating someone naturally is through mutual friends, but none of us really have social circles outside our group.

I genuinely want to get out of my comfort zone, meet fun people, have experiences, and actually enjoy my 20s instead of just sitting at home every weekend.

The issue is I’m not rich, so expensive hobbies/clubs/trips aren’t really an option 😄

For people who were in a similar situation:
How did you build a better social life and meet new people on a budget?

Tried Every Dating App in Bangalore... Still Not a Single Match... What Am I Doing Wrong?

​

I have been using dating apps in Bangalore for a few months now... literally tried almost all the popular apps... changed prompts... changed pictures... tried being funny... tried being serious... tried “being myself”... tried acting confident... but still not a single match on any platform...

At this point it genuinely makes me hate myself sometimes...

I don’t really have friends here and I am completely alone in this big city... so seeing absolutely nothing work after months feels really painful...

About me... I am an extremely shy and introverted person... I can’t open up around people immediately... and because of that I almost never click pictures... my last proper selfie was probably in 12th class...

I also have basically zero experience with girls... I don’t know how to talk... what to say... how conversations even work... and being introverted just makes everything harder...

I am open to advice outside dating apps too...

But honestly even that feels impossible sometimes... I once tried going to a singles meetup in a park... I reached there... stood like 50 meters away from the group for a long time trying to gather courage to join them... I genuinely tried really hard... but I just couldn’t do it...

In the end I just sat alone nearby and cried... because I wanted to join so badly but my mind just wouldn’t let me...

I honestly don’t know what I am doing wrong anymore...
