Social interaction, like anything else is a skills. In my opinion it's the single most important skills a human being can develop. Social interaction will get you everywhere.
There are many books out there that cover this topics. You can take courses such as the Dale Carnagie Training. There are even communities out there who focus on developing social skills.
The broad strokes required are these.
1. Be friends with social people. Without this your progress will be hundred times slowers. It is imperative that you hang out with social people.
2. Know yourself. Personal development is key. How can you get to know someone if you don't know yourself? Start a journal. Not the kind where you write about your day but one where you explore your personality, your past, your goals and the lessons your learned in life. The stronger your reality the more people will get pulled into it.
3. Get out there and interact with people. Do not get caught in paralysis of analysis. Experience is essential. Put yourself in uncomfortable situation, it's the only way to grow.
It's not easy but the rewards are unlimited.
