I need to share this, may Allah guide me

As-salamu alaykum, I'm an introvert. I don't have trouble talking to people - I take part in community matters, help where I can, and I go out when needed (especially for prayers, alhamdulillah). Still, I much prefer staying home when there's no real reason to leave. Every time relatives see me they tell me I'm glued to the internet or that I never go outside, even though they do see me go out. If I go out with them, they act like this is what life should be and accuse me of wasting my life. They keep repeating the same criticisms. They say I don't interact, yet when we're with others they constantly point out my faults. Just a few hours ago at dinner they started talking about me and I couldn't even enjoy my food - I just rushed to finish. No matter how kind I try to be, helping and respecting them as much as I can, they use the same lines to put me down, whether we're alone or with company. I know this is a test and that maintaining family ties is important in our deen, but I needed to tell someone who doesn't know me. Even my parents wish I were more outgoing like others my age. I tried, but it didn't feel right or fulfilling. I pray Allah grants me good friends and patience, in shaa Allah.
