introspection at a young age

i’m current 17 years old. I have gone through multiple inner battles(like low self esteem, social anxiety, perfectionism) and i fear that when i go into college and form relationships in the future, i‘m going to miss out on having fun and having stories to tell. I can easily find out when someone is manipulative, faking themselves and just acting out of their ego which would naturally make me stay away from them and look for people that think like me.

but at a young age i think it’s really hard to find people that introspect and have deep conversations…

people often say that you’ll find your tribe sometime in your life but i don’t think i’ll be okay if i’m alone for 4 more years.

Do you think that i’m worried about the wrong things and it isn’t going to be lonely?
