10 years of isolation, a brutal rejection, and a cooked 24m brain. how do i fix this?

fr I don’t even know how to start typing this out without sounding pathetic, but I'm at an all-time low. I’m 24m and honestly, my mental state is completely fried.
Ngl, I haven’t properly socialised in like 10 whole years. Ever since I was 14, my social battery has been dead, and my life has just been a loop of staying inside my room.
Back then, I met this girl who became my absolute best friend. We were close for 3 years, and looking back, I fell hard for her. I thought we had that typa bond where things would just naturally move to the next level, so I finally confessed my feelings. Big mistake. She said no.
Bro, that rejection honestly broke something inside me in the worst way possible. It didn't just sting; it completely rewired how my brain works. After that happened, I completely lost interest in all my hobbies and things I used to actually like doing. Everything just felt pointless. My isolation got 10x worse, and I pretty much locked myself in my own world.
The worst part? Since she said no, I haven’t made a single female friend. Not one. Every time I try to talk to a girl or even think about putting myself out there, my brain just instantly panics and brings me right back to that rejection. It's like a mental block I can't bypass.
To top it all off, she’s married now. Seeing that happen just felt like final proof that my life is paused while everyone else is moving on and living their best lives. I'm 24, stuck in the past, with zero social skills, zero female friends, and no clue how to fix any of this.
I'm so tired of feeling like this every single day. If anyone’s been through something similar or knows how to slowly crawl out of a hole this deep, lmk. How do I even begin to improve my mental state right now?
