Bars are not for everyone, and I'll bet that if you could peer deep inside you'd see a lot of the people that look like they're having a good time are cursing the front they put on. What you see on the surface isn't always the whole story.
Like sleepygirl says, social anxieties can lessen. I've improved through therapy. I have an online friend who has made huge strides in the past year, to the point where she's gone from extremely avoidant to confident enough to go ask out the guy she likes who works at the coffee shop. So don't despair, things change, and whether they do or not none of this reflects on whether you *deserve* friends, just on the ease with which you make them.
