Social shit is very hard to do, but these are good suggestions, especially when you're not used to it. Socialising in our society is not an easy thing and I 110% empathise with the struggle. If you genuinely cannot find a single org/class/group that even slightly aligns with your interests, you may just have to put up with doing something you're not passionate about in order to meet others.
I'm extremely bad at social stuff, but found a local walking group easy because it means silences aren't awkward, talk can just happen as/when it happens, or I can even just say very little if I'm not feeling it. I'm not particularly into walking, and I'm not that good at talking, but it's a way for me to be part of a group, have an occasional fun chat when the moment arises, and get exercise in.
i had a group thing or two pre-covid but nothing ever escalated.
it's so difficult to want to do anything and then actually go through the ordeal for a chance at something that depends on the interest and investment of strangers.
maybe there's a cult somewhere that just does the love bombing part and skips the low-protein gruel and mass weddings.
