Need advice and ideas

[Twicethe]

Hello. I got out of prison about 9months ago, i was in another country where i had been staying about 4 years, i got deported back to my home country. Since my release i have been only working as much i can. My problem is that i don't have any social life. Now im starting to realise that its not healty on my mental health and its getting kind of depressing. I have stopped talking to some people from my past life and people who i once was close to and others who i considered friends i have'nt talked either or stayed in contact with them. Reason probably is that i chose different path and some people dont approve this kind of life. Im introvert by nature and i have anxiety so its difficult for me to talk people or start conversation especially with people i dont know. So i would like to get some advice on how to reconnect to people who i have'nt seen or talked in years and also how to meet new people because it seems it gets harder and weirder to meet New people the older you get.

I'll bet if you contacted old friends on facebook they'd be receptive unless you really screwed them over or scared them then I'd stay away because they might bring back bad memories and say hurtful things.

I have'nt like screwed them over, maybe i've just been living the life they dont approve but my main thought is that if i contact them like that they they start to think why over all those years i decide to seek them out. Also I fear that maybe they dont want anything to do with me because they have been living their own lives and what i've heard they are doing well. Its possible that i'm just overthinking the whole situation but thats just the person i am. Why it seems so hard to establish the old relationships
