Yeah but I don't like any of those games. Forcing myself isn't a solution, if anything makes thing worse
As I've said before, you don’t want to change. Every time anyone offers you advice you dismiss it out of hand then post again about how terrible your life is.
Hundred percent. OP seems like a sympathy/pity vampire or something.
I feel terrible, so many people are taking tine to try and help and at best get met with a "no, I don't want that."
I keep waiting for them to take up my offer to find them free therapy...
I mean, that's fine, nothing wrong with that, but your question was how people socialize and make friends in games, and that's a legitimate answer.
You're right, but it does not have to be one of those games specifically : there are many ways a game can be played as a team. Maybe you can try to join competitions on Tekken, which may encourage talking more than random matches, and even in some cases could be played in duo or something making it closer to a team-based game.
You may also try different games that are not at one opposite or the other on the solo vs. team factor. For example, Rocket League lets you play solo as well as with other people (though I understand it may not be your type of game). Some fighting games like Smash Bros are the same. I'm not familiar with fighting games, so I can't provid precise names but maybe you can find one where you can play more coop-like.
