Its going to be an unpopular opinion but the trauma that comes with marriage is worse than being alone/ all by yourself. Marriages are very difficult. They look very good from the outside but from the inside they are ugly if you choose wounded people to be with. Rather than focussing on getting married, first work on your loneliness. What is it that is making you so worried, so uncomfortable by being alone. Remember if you're a complete human, only then you will be able to give your 100% to someone else. Two incomplete people can never complete each other.
There's absolutely nothing wrong in getting married. You can get a girl now also by socialising more, by being on dating or matrimonial apps. But the desperation that comes with loneliness can make you fall for anybody.
When it comes to making friends, you can still make friends. Your life is not over yet. May be its just the beginning.
Next Steps
Consider taking professional help/therapy/counselling. It will definitely help. Video consultations are as powerful as face to face sessions. There's hardly any difference.
Health Tips
This is your overthinking that you have lost everything in life. If a door gets closed on your face, a window always opens. You need to change the way you see life. Take therapy. It will be really helpful.

I understand where you are coming from. Every event is connected to a certain event in the past. Hence it is best to connect with an expert who can help you identify the source of these events and work together to manage these.

Hi,
It's understandable to feel regretful about missed opportunities for social connection in your youth. However, dwelling on the past won't change it. Instead, focus on the present and future. Start by gradually pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, even if it's uncomfortable at first. Join clubs or groups that interest you, attend social events, and engage in activities where you can meet new people. Building relationships takes time and effort, but it's never too late to start. Consider seeking support from a therapist who can help you work through these feelings and develop strategies for building meaningful connections. Remember, it's never too late to rewrite your story and create the life you want.
