I've lost contact with most of my friends for several years now.I've been alone in my room most of the time.Sometimes it just bothers me.
step 1. you leave your room
step 2. find someone to talk to
step 3. talk to them.
Well, that can't be true. I'm sure you know how to talk, you just mean you don't talk well, right?
If no, then are you on like, disability? How do you support yourself?
To talk to people, just start, spend time with them, the more time you spend talking to people the better you'll get! The more kinds of people you'll talk to the better you'll get too! Try to emulate really outgoing people. That works.
It will be awkward at first. It will suck. It will be embarrassing and uncomfortable, but you have to get past it or else you'll stay like this.
One day, awkward you will be a memory if followed.
The you with normal social skills will be your reality.
That's it.
Go out with a camera and start taking photos.
It is a good starting point for conversations.
If loneliness bothers you, you need to do something.
Let us know how you get on.
I had similar problems. I found out that I had developed social anxiety. Sometimes, at uni, I ate my lunch in a toilet cubicle so that I can easily avoid people at lunch time...
I found that anxiety medication really helped!.. Firstly, I stopped giving a shit about what people thought, which actually gave me the confidence to start talking to people again. I'd recommend.
I think I understand what you mean. Once I moved to another state my senior year of high school, I just never ended up developing any close friendships. I'm 23 now and mainly hang out with my spouse.
I'm awkward and terrible at small talk to begin with, which might have something to do with it.
