How to deal with feeling of isolation? (kbin.social)

I'm likely on a yet another burnout cycle, and I have little to no possibility of meeting with people thanks to the place I live. I also have trouble with socializing in general, even in online spaces.

Since my current job I don't make enough to move or to live alone, and the only better place would cost me more than the Hungarian minimum wage (of which I make less than thanks to labor programs 🤢), I cannot really change this, also would only marginally help me since I always had issues with socializing.

Being surrounded by people and being seen by people are two different things.

It sucks but I actually prefer it when I'm ignored, I have had some problems in the passed with people's true intentions. Usually bites me back, not always but enough.
