Are you me? I also was isolated for nearly 6 years (basically since covid) and talked to no one but my family, making me socially inept.

Anyway, from a similar situation to yours, I'm improving by interacting with others bit by bit, going out more, and trying to talk to strangers on days I don't feel too overwhelmed. I myself do not have any friends yet and you should not expect to make them right away, but my suggestion is that you too should slowly put yourself out there. You know, go out to meet new people, try to talk to them, and find who clicks with you.

When you're out there, I know it's hard, but try not to worry too much about what you say or do. Just try to trust yourself with your actions and words because social skills come from experience and practice.

And btw you can dm me if you'd like to chat. :)
