For a bit of context I was homeschooled for 6 years and was a complete shut in I never left the house except to go to my dads on weekends it was pretty bad I had no friends but at the time I didn’t care cause I just played games with my cousin all day but at the beginning of last year I wanted to start going to school again cause I realized how bad my social abilities and overall mental health were getting but anyways I got expelled for not going cause but im gonna move in with my dad so I can keep going to a public school but it was terrifying I haven’t been around that many people in ages and I don’t know how to talk to anyone now like at all and idk what to do I wanna get better at socializing and making friends but idk where to even start and I just started going back to school in my junior year so it kinda doesn’t even feel worth it idk what are all of your guys thoughts

Woah, that was a lot of words with no periods. Which is a pretty good written version of how people tend to talk when they are not getting enough social interaction. So, to answer one question right off, yes it is worth it to go back to school, you are a human and you need social interaction.
Looks, it’s going to be hard to be back in real life school. You are going to be a little weird and awkward, and some people are going to respond badly to that. But, some people will respond well to it if you give them the chance. You’re gonna probably have to start out small, just talking to people about little things. Ask them about their interests, follow up on the things they tell you next time you talk to them. Crawl before you run.
Just try not to do that thing that we all do when we haven’t talked to anyone in weeks were we talk about ourselves non-stop for an hour.
