First, don't give up. Your not the only one who faces such issues, trust me. And you may not feel it, but it's brave of you to ask for help. I am an introver

I am an introvert, didn't really interact with people much when I was younger, but when I got older I found that roleplaying games, specifically live action roleplaying dramatically improved my social skills, taught me how to interact on a team, how to lead, etc. It's geeky, but that shouldn't frighten you, because you will meet people with a range of social skills. One place you can check is owbn.net, see if there are any games near you.
gknoy suggests the SCA which is another good way to meet people.
The other thing you could do is involve yourself in the internet, and socialize that way. Join a group minecraft server, or second life, or something. Even interacting on forums or subreddits.
Finally, try hanging out in the computer lab. Maybe help people. Become a lab tutor... that's one way to have a built in group of people to interact with.
