22M becoming an adult made me a lot lonelier

Having friends but no friend that does what you do. That means I only get to spend maximum 2 hours gaming some days with them and then nothing else. Barely do anything outside because I don't share the same hobbies.

Never felt love for anyone and nor have anyone felt love for me either. I can see very clear why someone wont find me likeable. But It's something I can't change because that is who I really am. This comes with some complications because as all humans do we need contact. Would compare this to quitting nicotine, It's a very strong urge/need for contact. But it is a constant urge I can't satisfy.

Not depressed, I've got hobbies that I thankfully started to enjoy again after getting medication for my ADHD. But the medication also gave me the urge to find human contact which I've barely had before. It's as you can tell quite confusing.
