Spending too much time on the internet has given me a distorted view on reality. I fucking hate going outside and meeting people because I frequently see the worst of our civilization online. I've tried going outside but I'm very pessimistic and cynical around people I don't know. I've tried going to events but no one approaches me because I look bitter and upset all the time, also I can not for the life of me smile when talking to someone I don't know. What's a good way to ease into social activities?

Things get easier once you're done with puberty.

I am as stupid as a child (didn't finish middle school) but I am an adult.

Not all people are bad. Yes, some are assholes and some are criminals, but that doesn't mean everybody is too. A lot of good people exist out there, and you'll never get the chance to meet them if you keep avoiding them like this.

Everyone wants to be happy and avoid pain. Everyone is stressed out about things. Some people about most things. Just keep your heard up, get used to feeling ok with your surroundings.
You need an ethical framework
Right now you're just flapping in the wind becoming jaded as experience shows you the shit side of life.
