Trying or let the things flow

So, after talking with people about how to get a partner these answers are the most common. My father told me I should try and go for it, talking with people, going to parties( sadly I don’t fell confortable there) and my friends told me I shouldn’t worry about it, that those things come, expecting someone will come one day but I don’t think it will happen. Where is the point then? I don’t care anymore about getting a partner, seems like I gave up already 18(M)
