I don't know what a conversation is.

In the office no one talk to me.
Sometimes, I go to the pub. Nobody talk to me there.

I know, I have to approach them, but I don't know how.

I was trying online dating. No matches.

My spot in society is to stay at home and do nothing.
It's a bit boring.

I'm not asking for advice, I just needed to let it out.
I'm not unique, lots of people go through this.
Often it happens at a later stage in life.
Some people grow out of it, so there is hope.

I've tried therapy, but they don't focus on my issue.
They see my isolation as a great issue, but my mind is working toward isolating myself more and more.

I'm not sad or bitter, I just wish I could relate a little.
I know people like me are out there.

I can relate, I used to be like the way you describe.

Alright, get acquainted with this first. Read some books about it. I can recommend Cicero's De Oratore. You can learn to speak as well as write from it.

Are you scared of rejection? What is your issue? The faster you get used to being said "No" to, the better. You can approach a girl/boy in a polite and cheerful manner. If they decline, move on, there's nothing wrong.

Yeah, this is heavily influenced by the quality of your photos. I had a friend who's not a pro, but is decent at taking pictures. He did some photos of me in different environments and boom - Tinder girls matches left and right. And I do not mean profane poses of even partial nudity. Everyone who knows how to take a picture will understand when you ask for a decent photo.

I am alone most of the time as well. Instead of boring, I am calling it serenity and tranquility. And I use this time to lurk TL (obviously) but also to read something and improve my mind in some way. My curiosity for knowledge is insatiable so I rarely lack topics to educate myself into. I even think that this desire for knowledge is inseparable from the good and happy life I am aiming for.
The subject-matter of the art of living is each person's own life.

The key is to be a professional. If you approach people with a purpose then your time with them will have a point. Ask things of people. If you want a girlfriend talk about sex. Girls are naturally sexual creatures and are very receptive to hot guys hitting on them. If you don't feel confident about yourself it might be time to join a gym or get a physical fitness hobby.

Step is not to seek advice on a fucking Starcraft forum.

YES! Because otherwise you might get responses that are wrong on so many levels like that one:
