How do I make friends in my early twenties?

I regret not being social when I was younger as now it is incredibly hard for me to form bonds with people and talk to others now. I don’t have any family I can talk too. I basically have no one to talk to.First off I feel out of touch with the people in my twenties. I’m very socially unskilled. Social anxiety, all that. I don’t talk to anyone unless I am very certain they’ll like to talk to me, and that’s pretty rare for me to do. And at the same time though. I don’t know how to form bonds with people. I was a people pleaser, all I knew what to do was do nice things for people or act a fool and that’s how I had people like me for a bit. But I don’t want to be like this anymore I would like to be the person that can go up to people and make friends. I just started trying online friend making apps but I can never get myself to go past the hey how are you. Small talk part. Any advice would be great please
