I would try an IRL class/club/volunteer org. Maybe something you'll be bad at. A willingness to be genuine and vulnerable (like your orginal post) can be an attractive trait. Cooking, book club, whatever, just put yourself out there and be your true self. You'll meet people or they'll know other people and they'll set you up. Worst case: you learn something or make new friends, best case you find someone to navigate the crazy road ahead with.
