I am 20 years old and I have no friends?

Anonymous
I'm 20 years old, and ever since I was 17 years old I had no friends. It's a long story why I have no friends. Let's just say that my best friends hated me all of a sudden and as an end result, I was the one who ended up alone, hurt, back stabbed, and betrayed. I also stopped talking to everyone (mutual friends, acquaintances, etc.). It also left me with this uncomfortable feeling around people. I felt like I couldn't trust anyone. Anyways, now I'm 20 years old and I still have no friends. Sometimes I'm okay with it, because I have my family. But sometimes I find myself feeling lonely and wishing I had someone to talk to and chill with. I also have this problem, where if I don't find a person good looking or interesting enough for me, then I won't even bother talking to them. I don't know why. I never go out anywhere (I hate going out alone), unless it’s with my family, or it’s college or work. I go to college, but I never came across anyone who is interesting to me. I go to work, and I actually like the people I work with, but they only see me as a coworker and nothing else. I really want to get out of this ‘no friends’ rut. It’s so hard to make friends too when you already don’t have any to begin with. It’s so embarrassing. How exactly would you tell someone that you have no friends without them taking it in a negative way? I just wish I could find someone that I can actually talk to, chill with, and be myself around. Right now, I’m working so many shifts just so I won’t find myself stuck at home.
