I had a similar reaction to this post title. Firstly, don't give up. That's the most important thing.
If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend seeking out psychological treatment. Your attitude is not necessarily novel but a strong indicator that it may be helpful.
If you don't "click" with the first person you see, don't be afraid to find another.
Got to look smaller. A good cup of coffee? A friend that hears you out? Being grateful for Lemmy where you feel like you can be yourself?
