I'm a loser, how can I make friends?
Idk how to start this but I've been out of high school for 2 years almost and basically have had anyone I used to hang out with move on with other people. I'm naturally introverted but the isolation I've experienced has kind of affected me in a way where I'm almost content with being alone but I get sad sometimes and I think it's getting worse. I'm much more socially anxious and I can't approach anyone. And it's hard seeing everyone I once knew making memories with friends while I basically live out the same day everyday. Last year I took a gap year to make some money while I figure out what path I want to take. Was working 40+ hours a week in the worst job and it almost broke me. I think my life took a turn for the worst after that. Working the shittest job possible, constantly sleep deprived and waiting for Friday to come only when it did come, nobody calls or messages my phone. So the weekend was always the worst because I couldn't distract myself like work did and I'd be alone with my thoughts.
I go to university which almost the is the only time I leave the house. Apart from that I play guitar, listen to music, walk my dog and play video games. Stopped going to the gym after 3 years because i don't feel like it anymore. I want social connection, yet I avoid it because i think people just find me weird and it seems like nobody ever smiles when they look at me. Like I'll just always be a background character. But I don't not want friends. I want to go out and experience things. Anyway if you cared to make it this far thanks for reading. I would like to know if there's any apps that can help with my situation. I don't really care for online friendships unless it translates to real life. I'd really just like a friend who's genuine
