Why cant I make friends?

Truth is i dont know how to interact with people because of my social anxiety.I havnt had any friends In 5 years, i seem to meet new people just fine, but thing is i cant seem to "keep" them, they like talk and greet me, but after a few days they like ignore me and become strangers like i never met them. I dont see where i go wrong, if i talk to them in the friendliest way, i always put on a fake smile for them all the time, i just dont know. I tend not to curse for yhem aswell. Can it be because i dont fist bump them? I have a verry hard time doing handshakes with guys, and hugs with girls, can something that small be throwimg everything off?? Or what can i do??

    Have you ever tried asking them why they keep leaving you? What I would do is just go up to them calmly and see if they walk away if they do that is considered bullying and I would go see a adult you trust in your school. if not just ask them why do you keep leaving me. Also, if your social anxiety makes you stutter or like do random things so just tell them you have it if and if they really wanna be friends there will understand the problem. Make you sure it is also the right crowd of people. I hope this has helped!!!!
