Feeling Lonely and Isolated

I live alone and I often feel lonely. It is very hard to find someone interesting to talk to and is interested in me. This causes me to be depressed and feeling like I am all alone in the world. I have a lot of social anxiety so it is difficult for me to reach out. I stay alone at home because I feel anxious about meeting new friends. My family is not very supportive so I have to do it all on my own. I have distanced myself from people I know because so many of them are uninteresting and only want to talk about themselves. I am more of a listener so that makes me their target. Sometimes I just wait for them to take a breath so I can get a word in. This causes me a lot of stress, so I just stay away from people like that. I'm looking for a friend who knows what I'm going through.
