How to connect with people

I don’t know if this is normal but whenever I try to socialize I don’t enjoy it at all, I don’t enjoy talking to people or being around people but I’m so lonely. I want to be able to enjoy these things.

I’d like to think that maybe it’s because I’m not finding people that I connect with, but it seems like I can’t truly connect with anyone. I just feel so detached and alone. How do people feel good being around one another?

I’ve tried finding people with similar interests but it’s all the same in the end, I feel nothing for no one. I hate myself for being like this. Am I a bad person for being like this?
