Dating these days amiright

I feel like I've nowhere else to turn. I'm terrible at meeting people in real life. Ive been to a few parties, I've been to bars. I've hung out at parks and arcades. Never have i had someone approach me and i just don't have the courage to approach someone else especially since i have horrible anxiety that cripples me at every turn. I've tried dating apps but they either want you to pay money just to mesage people or most of the people aren't looking for long term. The one app i did use and was having luck on banned me because a guy reported me for something false after i told him i wasn't interested. Which screwed me over because i had a couple conversations going with others that were going extremely well. I messaged the apps developers and they refused to do anything about it and wouldn't believe me. I've lived a life of ridicule being overweight and I'm working on fixing it among some other issues but i feel I'm never going to find someone to spend my life with. I can be happy by myself but i really want my forever partner and feel I've run out of options.
