I can relate to your situation, because I was there a few years ago, at a similar age. Please forgive me for offering some unsolicited advice. I highly recommend meditation. A helpful book I started with is called Wherever You Go, There You Are. I'm now getting into The Mind Illuminated, and I think it is also good. The subreddits /r/meditation and /r/TheMindIlluminated are informative, at the moment. When you find the time, which can be difficult when you are working a job, try forcing yourself into social interactions. For example, chatting with people at cafe or at the train station, volunteering, and meetups. Also, I found myself feeling like I've been Tom Sawyered just a little bit with the job thing. If I could go back in time and tell myself not to sweat the job thing so much, I would.

>When you find the time, which can be difficult when you are working a job, try forcing yourself into social interactions. For example, chatting with people at cafe or at the train station, volunteering, and meetups. I like this advice. I just don't like following through with it because 1) I feel like a creep 2) I can't really tell if people are bothered by me and don't want to inconvenience them 3) I'm afraid I will say something wrong and the whole experience will bite me in the ass, so it's safer to do nothing.
