There must be good books to read that teach the social skills you haven’t learned. Making friends is the same process to finding a romantic partner, basically.
Being introverted and very shy is so understood and accepted and there are many others like you to find and bond with. Or finding someone extroverted who is different from you sometimes makes a great match.
As for “dying alone” fear... I don’t get it. Don’t we all die alone anyway? When we are dying and so out of it, do we really care who is there with us? IDK, I’ve seen people so close to me die and they really weren’t even there in the room any more... just saying...

Smoking weed definitely doesn't make my social anxiety worst. If it were as simple as reading a few self-help books, I'd have done it already, but they are of no help to me. I know what needs to be done to make friends and relationships, either platonic or romantic, I just
can't do them.
I like seriously mentally short circuit or something. I go blank and haven't found a way to combat against my low self esteem and distorted thoughts.
Being shy isn't exactly my probably. As for dying alone . . . maybe I wasn't clear. I know we all die alone, that doesn't bother me. I'm not afraid of dying alone. I'm afraid that I will die having never been with someone and never knowing what it was like to feel like I belonged anyway or was wanted. I'm afraid I'm going to live my whole life alone and then just die having never making any meaningful connections in my life.
