I honestly don't understand how people socialise and make friends though gaming (lemmings.world)

I've been playing games for almost 3 decades and I've owned almost every Xbox, so the online factor is there and overall easily accessible but I just never got this community feel I read in some places, my most played games are probably WWE 2k14 and Tekken 7 and 8, yet I've never interacted with anyone, I don't have a headset and I don't wanna hear voice or chat while playing though, it just distracts me and I despise losing, but apparently the people connect, make friends and a few even found love while playing their favourite game.

I envy them.

Is like the only hobby I have and tbh it isolated me even more from getting any type of affection or contact.

Some people mention discord but that awful app is terrible plus people act weird there, is like the game is very secondary there and just post cringe stuff instead.

I will say, you're complaining about community while only playing 1v1 versus games. I don't think anyone would call WWE 2k14 or the Tekken games really "community focused," and certainly not to the same level as games like World of Warcraft or Warframe. I'd even argue other PvP focused titles would offer better communities, as team-focused titles like Deadlock and Marvel Rivals incentivize players to seek out other players they enjoy playing with. Solo 1v1s just don't incentivize community in the same way.
