It's already been 4 months since my birthday. I feel like such a loser, all of my old friends are in college and I'm at home working in construction.
I don't really wish to go out with them anymore because our differences in interests and the habits we're picking up from the environments we're spending most of our time in are outpacing our similarities at this point.

I want to start doing something voluntary to get out and socialize more since I've always been the weirdo outcast my whole life. Maybe if I put myself out there instead of sorta 'falling into' social circles in work/school I'll meet some more accepting people.
I was thinking of volunteering at an animal shelter on my days off or soup kitchen. Idk I just feel lost and apathetic most of the time, and very very alone.
Two years without having sex but I'm not particularly hung up on it because I know I can fake being a sociable and likeable person long enough for a girl to get some action as I have before(regrettably). I just can't seem to sustain a long term friendship/acquaintance with anyone outside of a forced environment without feeling emotionally drained and feeling frustrated.

I would appreciate any insight or advice for someone socially stunted as myself. I'd also accept a song or a picture too. Thanks anons.

Create a long-term plan and follow it.

You have construction experience

Construction is a huge fuckin industry

You could be a site manager, builder, self-employed tradesman or whatever and earn a fuckload of cash with 0 debt. Save up and get qualifications to use heavy machinery. Work in a mine or something oil rig for shitloads of cash.

Honestly I'd say you're in a good spot. Your friends have 0 experience and are probably studying some useless bullshit and will graduate with a load of debt and into a terrible job market for white collar work.

Set your sights on a decent, high paying skilled manual labour job and get after it.

Also yeah, volunteer on your days off. That's a good idea. Also try joining some climbing gym or something, I dunno. They have classes or you can just approach randoms and talk about how difficult this or that climb is and then ask about them as people

Well for starters, take heart in the fact that you have been laid and can probably get laid again in the near future. There are tons of people on this board who can't and probably never will.

What do you mean by this?
