<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

I'd like to start this off with saying I've always had trouble making friends and forming relationships with people. I was bullied as a kid/teenager and no doubt it has affected my ability to interact with people. I'm frequently on guard when interacting with people I don't know and I probably come off as snobbish/stand-offish due to my inability to converse. I'm quiet and reserved, and I don't open up to people particularly easy. I haven't had a girlfriend since I was a teenager and I can't remember the last time I was on a date. I've never been diagnosed with any mental illnesses but then again, I've never really let anyone know how I feel about everything.

Outside of my family, I truly feel alone in the world with nobody who gives a crap either way about me. My supposed "best friend" hasn't contacted me in months and we don't talk anymore. Generally, people will only get in contact with me whenever they want something and I can't remember the last time someone asked me if I wanted to hang out or whatever.

I wanna live like a normal young adult does, but I don't know how to. Most people my age are having the time of their lives and I'm essentially a house rat drowning in my own sorrow.
