If you don't have a hobby (that you can share), get one.
Next, go out and find out where people get together to discuss/participate in/buy ridiculous amounts of shit for this hobby. Almost everything has a convention or a bunch of social groups.
Talk to people (both male and female). Meet new friends.
Don't try so hard. Learn to listen and to get people to talk to you. You don't need to do all of the talking. You don't even need to do that much at all.
When you meet up with people who share the same interest as you (even one thing), you'd be surprised how easy it is to socialize with them...especially if the activity deals with actually doing something directly related to it.
