So I(28M) have always been very antisocial growing up, and for the first half of my twenties. I've recently realized how lonely I've been, and it hurt. Like the realization that I actually do want companionship and love made me question everything I've ever been. I always felt excluded from things, but I've begun to realize the only one excluding me was myself.
Problem is, not even counting the pandemic, going out and meeting new people is scary on it's own. My social skills are enough to function day-to-day, but not enough to form any real connections. I've never tried getting dates, and have never gotten any, but I want to start trying now.
I just feel very unsure of myself. My confidence is pretty low, and although I've started taking better care of myself this year, lost a considerable amount of weight, the confidence just isn't there like I thought it'd be.
So I don't have any idea where to start. I don't like doing things by myself, but I also don't have any friends to hang out with. I also feel like almost everyone else has more experience than me socially and I'd come off as weird or awkward. So yeah, I just kinda feel stuck.
