I have a major challenge with meeting people so you're not alone. Pretty much I have acquaintences in real life only but zero real friends. Online I have plenty of friends but although that helps, it's not the same. One of the complaints my ex had about me was that I wasn't social enough. Well now I too am alone. Although for the most part I have some contentment, there's a need there to meet people so I feel for you, I know what it's like. I've realized though even though I talk to many people IRL, I dont' really "invite them in" what I mean is, I keep them at a distance and there's still a very thick line drawn in the sand that I can talk to people through but they are prevented from really coming to my side. There's a such thing as being sociable without really going far enough to make real friends and for me, that's how it is. Could that be you too?
