I have a problem for a few years now I've done everything by myself im 17 with barely any friends actually I have no friends and its sad, I've never felt like more of a disappointment than the sudden realization that im actually alone and that I have nobody to call or text.
You get used to being alone but being 17 in high school and having to go through it by yourself while everyone goes out to parties and hangs out with each other, I talk to my self I watch movies by myself hell I even got to the point where I enjoy reading books crazy thing is I am not even anti social I love talking to people and I get it some people might not like that I just wanna know if its something I gotta fix.
overall i am probably the biggest looser in my school sad but its something I gotta live with for probably the rest of my life and I will most likely die alone but its ok I guess?

Hey, don't worry so much ;_; when I was 17, I also didn't have many friends, and I thought it was my fault. I was even popular in highschool, but even so, no one to actually call or text at the end of the day. It was very surface-level and lonely.
I believe things will get better for you. I didn't start really making friends until college, when I would just say something as simple as "hey, i like your shirt, do you have an instagram I could follow you on or something?" and later, they would text me, and we would eventually hang out. Then they introduce me to their friends, and now I have so many friends, it's hard to keep up with!
My advice for now, is to try to enjoy the time by yourself, while still looking for friends. Some of my absolute best memories as a teenager, was time spent with myself doing the things I loved. Online friends are easy to make and they help "fill the void". While you do that, I would try to get involved with clubs at your school, and that may help. Maybe you can do what I mentioned earlier and just start with a compliment, then get the person's socials and talk from there.
Don't be so harsh on yourself, I truly believe you are a likable person IRL and things will get better for you ^^
thanks for the advice I enjoyed reading your comment
