 @c721880c I did go to politics to meet new people and learn finnish in a offline class, I also had a a nerd group of people who were into broadgames and stuff like this... I found a good friend on a online dating app but lost her because she decided to hang out online with right wing dudes...

Now I am kind of social isolated again...

Well I still do the politics stuff but it's more politics not just fun. 
 @1173fcde oh i see 

one thing i've come to understand about my "introversion" is that i'm probably more shy than a genuine introvert.

the main stress source for me in a crowd isn't the crowd itself but my anxiety. i'd like to interact with strangers, but i hesitate.

i live like a hermit but i don't like that. would be nice to at least have a partner and/or friends.
