I've been in your shoes. My solution, which may not work for everyone, was to force myself to talk with coworkers a little bit a day. When they talked about something they've done, like over the weekend or whatever, I asked a follow-up question. At first it all felt really phony because, to be honest, I don't care too much what other people do. However, eventually, it became somewhat natural and I began to care about the other person (even if their hobbies may not jibe with mine). And eventually I would begin comfortable sharing my ideas and issues. This also works for making friends outside of work, once you figure out how to meet up with them in person. *edit: fixing tenses
