I was the same way in college, and slowly developed my social skills since then. The truth is, as with myself, you didn't develop social skills along the way growing up. It's not like everyone starts at zero in college and some people click. Also you skipped grades and had less in common with your peers your whole life. But now that you recognize a need, you can start working on it. The best way to do it spend time with the same group of friends. It's hard to develop social skills with people who pass by. Find a hobby that not only you like, but where you like the people doing it. This is the time to make some life long friends. Also, this is the best and easiest time for you to find a nice girlfriend. It will be 100x harder to find a good match after college. A relationship will develop your social ability like no other. You will probably fail a lot, but you HAVE to try now. Don't worry about finding the perfect one. Make a fool of yourself. In the future you will regret not trying much more. I know I have. It's going to be a lot of trial and error. No getting around that. But try to stay true to yourself and you'll get there faster.
