<human>: In school (well, anywhere, to be honest) I've always felt incredibly left out. No one talks to me, or even acknowledges that I exist. And, honestly, I never have anything interesting to say anyways, so even if they did talk to me, I don't know what I would say.

So I started college today hoping things would get better, but they didn't. People still refuse to talk to me and I really can't understand why. I've been reading Reddit for advice on this a lot lately, and everyone just says "Walk up to someone and say hi" but for me it's never been that easy. Besides, no one has *ever* done that to me, so I'd feel weird if I started doing it to other people.

I was homeschooled most of my life, which messed me up pretty badly. I've never had any real friends, and I can't make new ones simply because *I don't know how*.

I'm really tired of being lonely, Reddit. I don't know what to do. I'm not an interesting person to talk to, and I just can't bring myself to talk when I'm around people I don't know. I suppose I have selective mutism that way. What are some ways I can improve myself? I don't think I'm terrible ugly, and I dress nicely, so it's nothing like that that's turning people away. I can't drive, and I don't live in a dorm, so nothing that requires either of those. I feel like I'm going to be Forever Alone, and I really do want to meet people. I felt worthless today when in my last class I just sat there, and no one would sit next to me.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: I've never had any real friends, people never strike conversations with me, and I don't know how to force myself to be more sociable because it's something I've never really dealt with.
