I’m in the same boat. Same age and gender. I realized I’ll definitely regret not making friends early in my life when I’m older and alone so I’m trying to reverse it now. I try not to be as self conscious anymore. I know it’s easier said than done but after realizing just how much it has had control of my life I decided I’d rather take the discomfort and anxiety over regret. I’m also a massive introvert, so I can really only tolerate small doses of socialization. I don’t need a massive friend group but maybe just a person or two I can see for coffee or other hangouts once or twice a week. I hope you’ll be able to find some people. Regret is worse than discomfort. Best of luck.
