Maybe since you have social anxiety you're just afraid to make friends.  I got social anxiety too so I can relate to that.  What would you do with a friend?  What if they're weird or annoying?  What if they're nowhere near my age?  What if I don't like them?  I guess there could be lots of fears.  That's why I was thinking of a meetup group so there's more people.  It might be less awkward that way, or maybe not.  But then what would a group of people who have social anxiety do?  Who knows.  Boy, it just seem impossible to make friends when you have social anxiety.  I thought it would be better to make friends with other people who have social anxiety too so you can relate to each other, but it doesn't seem any easier.
