How do I build confidence and make friends? I get anxious and easily exhausted talking to people, but I feel lonely.
I'm an adult, and it feels like it's too late to find friends or people like me. I want to post about the topics I find interesting on social media and see if I attract like-minded people, but then I feel cringy (I don't think people who do it are cringe, it just feels stupid when I do it). If I start putting significant effort into posting my views, I start getting paranoid thoughts about never actually making friends, just having my posts incorporated into a LLM, eventually seeing some soulless influencer regurgitate my statements word-for-word because AI gave it to them and seeing other people comment "Wow, that's a great point! Followed!".
