I married a guy who had been to collage, had a career, and owned a house. Be that guy. He picked me. He pursued me until he won.
Boyfriends, girlfriends, whatever. I didn't have boyfriends when I was your age. I was too tall, blonde, pretty, and nerdy. "She'll never talk to me." I would have, but I'd have have gone off about molecular biology or some nonsense. That's not really attractive to guys who are trying to pick you up.
That is funny. I was way too tall--6' by 14--but I was not attractive, either. Interesting to learn that even a pretty girl didn't date.
By some bizarre twist of genetics, I have a very attractive daughter (more than once, people have actually gasped a little and said, "That's YOUR daughter?" when they saw her picture.). She's also only 5'8", so she didn't have to live with the overheight horror. Those few inches make a difference and keep her in the above-average-yet-normal range.
She got all the goodies that come with beauty, boyfriends in high school, people who were receptive to her because of her looks, but it was a learning experience for me as her mom to discover that while looks open doors, it's not a guarantee against self-doubt or self-esteem issues.
So OP, everybody's got something. Look not just for "a girlfriend", but a person whom you genuinely like and can connect with. Don't worry about what other people think.

Wow! That is amazing! And I really like your suggestion.

what suggestion did she have? to not care what other people think? how are you going to get a girlfriend if you dont care what other people think?
what you need is to be in a position where it is normal for you to talk to people that you dont know. then you have to pretend to be a better person than you really are.
I like going to beach. And I like to travel to many different places. I mostly hang out with my family.
Well do you have friends? Male and female? If you don't then I would start trying to meet people first, then GF. You mostly hanging out with you family is not really helpful in meeting other people.
Do you also live at home and commute to school?
And I was surprised to read that you parents "don't let" you go to Manhattan by yourself at 20 and you actually listen? I hope you realize how immature and ridiculous this sounds...

This. it will help your social skills which will help you in dating. Also, a girl might find it weird that you dont have any friends. That should definitely be your first step and i bet it naturally leads to you finding people to date.

Lol, to not choose a girlfriend based on what other people think but rather someone with whom you have a connection. Too many young men and women pick a partner based on how she or he will impress their friends.

I was wondering if the OP is of a culture in which kids stay with their parents till marriage. Surely you are aware that such people live in New Jersey. Ridiculing someone because they are different from you isn't helpful and makes you look like you're not all that yourself.
