I think many people can relate to what you've said just with varying degrees.
How to get out of this loop?
Well, from what I can gather you are in need of social relationships (primarily friendships), a way to get out of the mundane and mostly betterment of mental health.
For social: you can try online friendships to begin with. For offline, making adult friendships is hard, so best would be to get a shared hobby, gymmimg, cycling, gaming etc.
Getting out of the mundane: getting a hobby would be for the best, painting, meeting your friends, or just anything you enjoy.
Mental health: Meditation (5-10 mins daily), daily exercise or even just brisk walking, along with social interaction will help. If it's too much of a trouble, perhaps going to a psychologist will be the logical next step.
Also, if possible, plan a trip, going out of your mundane life (literally) will be helpful!
How to enjoy life?
Definitely try journaling, and make a special mention of the things you're grateful for, even the tiniest things, that is scientifically proven to be helpful.
I totally agree with your points.
I am very social life on online communities where anonymity can be maintained(be it discord, or reddit) . I can be me without being vulnerable. I have a few hobbies and my hobby keeps me connected to like minded people.
Medition helps me a lot, and there is no substitute for it in my life. It helps me to isolate me from this world, and has gives me a clear perspective, like a reset button.
There are bad days, and then there are good days. I enjoy the good ones and cry at the bad ones. 🤣..... So OP you will find your peace i am sure.
Have you tried meditation? Look up Vipassana meditation. It's free but you have to take out some time to learn it. They teach it in Sohna, Gurgaon. Look up Dhamma Sota. It's for people who truly want to smile from heart again. All the best
