I would recommend developing some hobbies, and joining some groups and clubs. I was involved in my university's outdoors club, in karate club, and in several types of social dance. I recommend all of these, or any other activity that piques your interest. But try something genuinely new, not just a computer club, gaming club, or other club populated by like-minded people. These are all great ways to meet a diverse range of people. They are not just about "hanging out" (which can sometimes be awkward for an introvert), there is something to do, and something to focus your attention on if you don't have anything to say. Volunteering can also be great, but pick some volunteer organization that does actual work, like Habitat for Humanity. (Beware of volunteer gigs with a lot of volunteers but very little work. These are fun for extroverts, but perhaps not for you.) Also, as other posters say, just try inviting random people to do random things. You will learn the pain of rejection (don't try to avoid this). But sometimes the responses will surprise you, and open doors you never knew existed. I understand exactly what you're thinking. You can succeed. Good luck to you!
