I can think of some solutions, but the government and the media almost never talk about that problem. The media cares more about Russia and some other things.

If the politicians "don't really care," then why are they "always offering suggestions?"

How can the government "almost never talk about the problem" and be "always offering suggestions" at the same time?
Help me out here.

Yeah, probably.
I do think prostitution should be legal though, for more reasons than this.
why? prostitution is more viable in the black market than as a government regulated commodity. The better argument is that sex should not be commodified because like water, it deserves to be free for anyone who is thirsty.

You quoted media articles on this subject in this very thread. There have been lots of media articles on this subject.
Look, I get it. You’re lonely, anxious, and unhappy. The media isn’t going to make that better. The government isn’t going to make that better. The folks on this board aren’t going to make that better, although they have given you tons of good advice.
Only you can make it better. Get started. Call a therapist. Today. No excuses. Do it.

The government already does some things that provide social opportunities for people, as well as private organizations. Maybe they could do more.
I agree with others you would do well seeing a therapist, but also look for interesting hobbies/activities and seek out groups that probably exist in your area where you can socialize with others. Good place to work on social skills.
Most prostitutes are not attractive. Young women are now making more money than young men, so young beautiful women do not need sex work. The legalization of prostitution wouldn't do much for me.
