am i just bad at talking or are people just boring??

i'll try to reach out to random people and be interested in them and ask for their socials and genuinely try to get to know them as a person and everyone is just SO. CLOSED. OFF. i used to be similar, in where i would ignore people trying to get to know me because i had social anxiety, but i didn't realize so many other people were doing the same thing. it's really frustrating. i've been going at this for a long time now and i just don't seem to click with anyone or people just let conversations die and i always have to be the one to revive them. it's quite depressing, am i doing something wrong?
