Same here, I'm rather introverted. But just talk to people about whatever comes to mind. Congratulate them on wins and commiserate when things don't work out, connect on a personal level. talk about what you're building and about your feelings. Show what you're doing using images. It gets better with practice :)
Agree, this helps. Maybe you won’t make a shit ton of connections right off the bat, but you’ll slowly build meaningful ones. I’m not talking actively to anyone from WIP and I don’t have (any) friends, so I can relate on a deeper level than you might think (mental issues and stuff like that), but I do know people from WIP, and we both comment on each other’s tasks.
Like, I’ve been talking to @screenfluent (great guy) for a while, and we try to encourage one another. Today we’ve met accidentally on a WIP hangout, haha — talked for a while there too.
Sure, I would love to have really deep trustful connections with people, but it takes time.
So, don’t give up, lurk around, and, if you didn’t do it yet, join Telegram group chat — lots of folks talk there almost every day.

Well said Georgy :) For me joining a hangout is still a bridge too far but I'll get there 😅
Thank you Thomas and Georgy.
Guess I’ll take it slow and steady. It’s a good reminder not to rush things.
