If it isn't working for you after you've done all you know to do to get friendships going, and you are not able to take risks to engage with people, I speak from experience professionally and personally when I suggest counseling. Or you can go on like that forever thinking it isn't you.

Right on Kitty! I couldn't agree more.
Almost everything that happens to you is self induced. If you don't like how things are going, change yourself, your attitude, and your behavior or find someone to help you do it.
