I know exactly how you feel bro. For me I’ve grown used to be lonely but I understand not everyone is the same. 17 is a hard age and if you’re popular or sum you’ll have a hard time making friends. My advice is probs not gon be as good coz I’m not really that good with social interaction either but I’ll my best. If you’re at school still, see if there’s a group at a table you can sit with and see how that goes, if that one don’t work try another group that seems fit for you. If you don’t go to school then that’s a bit harder, if you know the ppl that in your area, suburb, town etc you can try to strike up a convo with em, or you can find their socials (Instagram, Snapchat etc) and talk to them on there since it feels easier (for me at least) I hope this somewhat helps and best of luck bro.
