What gets one clocked as shy or possibly neurodivergent?

Usually when socializing I tried to be friendly and outgoing. A lot of people would say “oh you seem shy”.
I’m confused as to why. At times I don’t know what to say or talk to people about tho.
How do I prevent this?

Am I weird for not wanting to drink until I turn 21?

Where I (20) live, it’s illegal to drink or smoke if you’re under 21, and I’m choosing to follow this law. But almost all of my friends and family members have drank or smoked while underage and I feel kind of like a black sheep. Everyone seems to respect my wishes, although when my dad offers me a sip of alcohol and I say no, he’s like “c’mon! you only have a couple more months until you’re 21”.
Am I “different” for not wanting to participate in underage drinking or smoking?

I have a good life, but I am lonely and feel empty

I am in my early 20s, I have always been a loner and have only had a few true friends in my life.
I dropped out of college and started working very early on at a medium-sized startup in a big city, 100 km from home. I worked 10-12 hours a day, but because I had no time for anything else and lived only for work, I was actually happy. I didn't think about anything else and didn't have time to deal with relationships and similar things. However, it was a rather toxic environment, and a few weeks ago, after more than two years, I decided to leave.
Now I work in a very well-paid position in a smaller corporation, I have much more money than before, and most importantly, I now have much more time, or rather too much time. My roommate and I recently moved into a great new apartment, and overall, I'm doing well, better than 95% of the people I know to be honest. I know I should be happy, I have independence, I'm doing well, but inside I feel empty.
I have some friends in this city, but they're not particularly close relationships. I've never been in a serious relationship, I don't even know how to get one, dating apps don't work and I find them a waste of time and morale, I can't meet peop
