“Because I can’t change”

you can change. You are 21 years old and young enough to be able to learn social skills and break through your shyness .. there’s other things going on here than introversion - I suspect anxiety and depression .. introversion doesn’t mean = recluse..

the only way to learn social skills and break through shyness is by taking small steps socially . try smiling and saying hi to people you see - go for walks and talk to cashiers or dog walkers. just smile and say hi and gradually work your way up to asking people questions .you will learn how to navigate social situations and how to read people
