I came to this late, and I see most of the replies are focussing on the issues of introversion v. social skills. I just want to highlight these two lines: My social skills are going down exponentially day by day. I tend to be communicative with people who share similar interests At the risk of reading too much in these two lines: it is not unusual, as one gets older, to narrow down your acquaintances to those who (gasp) actually share the same interests as you. Many people find that their social needs are met perfectly well by people they have a lot in common with, and that life is too short to maintain relationships that are not genuinely rewarding. So this is not a problem per se, provided that you personally are not unhappy about the state of affairs. The only issue with the catalogue of interests given (physics, hacking, heavy metal) is that if you prefer females as your romantic partners, you are making things a bit difficult for yourself, statistically speaking.
