How to I make and maintain friendships online?

This post has probably been done several times lol.

I haven't really had any friends since 2021/2022, and I've never really had great social skills. I get anxiety and cringe at myself for saying just about anything.

Growing up, I made online friends via Instagram and roleplaying, and I tried doing the same with twitter, but it was entirely different and I gave up. My most recent friend was a guy I played minecraft bedwars with but we "talk" only once a year for only about a day, then it just, stops.

I feel so out of place all the time. Posting in communities I'm apart of gives me anxiety alone and I don't know how I would reach out to be someone's actual friend.

Like I have so many things I want to yap with someone about, like Resident Evil, Lies Of P, Days Gone, and so, so many other things, but the only times I really get to talk to anyone else about those are in streamer chats on tiktok which go quick sometimes 🥲

Any advice would help, Please and thank you 🙇🏻
