You sound like you have a pretty similar personality to my own. I'm still in college, but I could really see myself becoming a hermit absorbed in my own life and things I want to do after I graduate. I'm social at social places and open up a lot in social situations, but if I'm in my apartment I become a hermit.
Some tips:
-Try to trust people more and realize that there is room for error in life.
-Admit to yourself that you likely *need* other people. It is healthy and normal: human beings are social creatures.
-Try to find people who share SOME of your interests. Hang out with these people and do things that you share interests in, but also do some give and take and try some things you normally wouldn't.
Just remember that you will have to sacrafice/give up some stuff you might value in your life right now (a mountain biking trip, for example) to forge relationships with others. Don't get upset over these things and try to remember that people are just as important as the other aspects of your life.
