Planning on making an account too because I have no idea how to interact with people outside. Hope to find at least someone I understand with.
Have you ever applied for jobs? I think dating apps are somehwat comparably demotivating. Just be sure you can handle it.
Pro tip: don't. It'll make you feel worse than if you just isolated yourself.
The incentive structure of dating apps is completely twisted and makes you feel like every part of yourself is getting commodified and ranked.
Find some social groups or clubs and go hang out there. You'll have a much better time. Many people don't mind if you aren't comfortable with communicating, just being present is a positive in their book.
Try if you must, but as a guy after 10 years on and off these dating sites I just completely gave up. It's like a constant attack on your self worth and for me I just ended up feeling absolutely pathetic and worthless. I'm still lonely but I feel better than getting ignored constantly and literally only getting likes/messages from bots that want to scam you.

Stay away from communities that allow childrens then, there are plenty that are adults only, for example a friend of mine run one
