Does anyone who is ace find it hard to make friend’s?

So I’m female (21) I have tried to make friends on different apps. Some of the apps are dating apps which is honestly a terrible idea on my part. However they don’t really have any good apps for just making friend’s. I am always struggling with making new friend’s because one I’m ace, two I don’t really send or wish to receive, three I’m very socially awkward/terrible with conversations, and lastly every time I either make a new friend or someone see’s my picture they end up liking me romantically or sexually. I often get called names (bitch, whore, cunt) because I tell them I’m only looking for friends and not interested. I don’t know if it’s because of my bad wording or due to not really being the best at trying to word stuff. That they get the wrong idea or mixed signals which honestly gets annoying sometimes because once I think I’ve made a great friend. They ask about me sending or they send something which I say no which ends up to eventually muting or blocking in the end. I’ve tried almost everything I can yet I still can’t manage to make or keep new friend’s. I could really use some advice or tips that you guys think will help.
