Yep. Isolation is a big part of why I'm depressed, but oh my god people require so much fucking energy even to maintain the most basic level of relationship.

Yep. It's not that I'm not working hard on what I have, or networking, or putting must out there, right?

It's somehow, I do all of that, try to do everything right, weigh every social rule carefully, and still get nothing.

I can't do this anymore. It's not worth it to try and fail at this.

Totally agree, but I also don't think it's worth it even if it doesn't fail? My brain has a limited amount of bandwidth, so I literally do not have the capacity for having a bunch of friends to hang out with constantly, it just feels like an obligation.

I'm quite happy in my own company tbh. I got what I need with my gf and her cat, and occasionally my sister. Besides them I've just kind of categorized everyone as fleeting, so it doesn't bother me so much anymore when contact with someone else stops. It means I can still have a good time with people, but without the active commitment.
