I'm an adult who is socially awkward and recently finding it harder to make friends

I'm not 18 anymore and my social skills are spotty at best. I like to think of myself as a genuinely kind and caring person, I'm not full of myself and I'm not rude or disrespectful either. I recently moved to a new town, and while it's not hard to meet people in my age group, it seems they already have so many friends, that taking the time to get to know me isn't really a priority or maybe I'm just not that likeable. I'm so tired of feeling like a social reject that nobody likes. I'm tired of feeling lonely in a town I know nothing about and don't have friends to want to explore with. <br><br>Has anyone been in my position? What did you do?
