Are there mature students (25+) in any of your classes? Most people at that age are past teenage drama. You are into anime and gaming right? Is there a way you can meet others who are into those things?
There is nothing wrong with figuring out life later than others. Emotional development is unique to each of us.
Another poster mentioned social skills training. It does help, especially if you are willing to learn and want to understand emotions. The training tends to be more effective if you are able to practice the skills in the real world, especially in an environment where you are most comfortable in, since it will motivate you to practice them. For me it was in a clock repair/machine shop. Once you practiced and somewhat mastered the skills, you can try them out in other places such as coffee shops.
Tip: You must be real with yourself. No acting! People can detect that.
