It sounds like "talking to people" is the key point. How about just going out to social events and meeting people? There's also groups that focus on presentation skills as well if you wanted to improve on that aspect. For me, as a software engineer, talking to people is actually a much needed skill. Part of that is because I work at a startup if that helps. Maybe you just need a work or culture shift but you can still do it with the same job.
