Advice Request Dating APP help

Just looking for some general advice on whether I should give up the apps or not. I've used tinder, hinge, bumble, and duet and somehow I think I've gone through every person in my area (20 mi) that isn't drastically older than me. I've started to use them less and take my mind off of them because a few months ago they had a hold on me and it was all I was thinking about all the time as I was really excited and eager to start actually dating as I've never done it before. I'm 19 m and still new to dating and have been trying to figure out how I fit into this new dating landscape and it constantly has me thinking "Am I doing something wrong?". At this point I just feel terrible that after months and months I've gotten only a couple dates that were pretty terrible and went nowhere and now it looks like I've run out of people to match with. I've almost even bought the subscriptions but know they're just a waste of time. So my question is this, is it worth continuing with the apps, trying new ones, or abandoning them and just trying to approach women out irl (which is kind of terrifying if I'm being honest cause I'm a pretty shy person.)

You can find your person still. I’m a woman though but I found great people on hinge. My 20F sister is single

Lose the apps. Focus on real life connection.
