How do I(M21)find peace in solitude whilst trying well to socialize

r/

When I was young I completely focused on my studies and no friends. So I have been trying to socialize and I do have been a loner for most part of my life but it started hitting more since past two years. I dont go to college , doing distance , preparing for an exam . And I did take socializing seriously , I tried talking to friends , connecting with people , even some dating apps , I also wanted to be in a relationship and be friends. But yk nothing worked much.

And the problem is I am expecting things too early , friendships they dont build in a day but I am somewhere get very desperate to make friedns and that somehow is making me depressed and distracted.

So you know I want to learn how to focus on my work and also naturally try to socialize a little , I want to find the balance in between.

Any can give any suggestions really appreciated , you can also drop me a message if you feel comfortable to.
