RE: A Prisoner of My Own Social Inadequacies

For the longest time I struggled with always being on my own. I simply fail to connect. Then I learned that I am an Empath. I'm not less lonely but it got easier when I réalised that lonely is, for me, the safest place to be.
I stopped looking for friends to get attached to and started paying attention to living. I choose to experience every moment with faith hope and love and to be thankful in everything.
I hope you get to make one or two solid connections with people you can really trust.

I read a lot, and there is this constant suggestion that people with no friends should just "put themselves out there". I have do this so many times and gotten nothing back, it's kind of feels like defeat at this point. Trying to stay positive though.
The military had a lot of people who understand your outlook on life. Civilians usual wants to hang around with people who makes them feel good and doesn't remind them that life has responsibilities so it's a different mix to fall into.
Instead of volunteering for more work at your job, maybe become a volunteer firefighter. I have a feeling you will meet some guys there That is easier to trust and get along with.
