I'll give you a hint... THIS is why you're alone.
If you don't want to be alone, you gotta get up off your ass and put some effort into it. NOW!

I used to try to figure out why Adam always seemed to be surrounded by people - old ladies, little kids, homeless guys on the bus - and I finally realized it's because he's genuinely interested in people. He smiles, makes eye contact - people respond to that. If you're just standing there, deep into yourself, you don't seem approachable.
I know that it isn't easy, I'm not exactly Mr. Congeniality myself - but go ahead and make the effort, it does pay off.
