Go play a multiplayer game and join a guild. I know this sounds counter-intuitive as how could you improve your extroversion by participating in what most would consider an introvert activity? The truth is that while the social contact is minimal (much greater these days with the adoption of voice chat), it's still more than what you're currently getting. When you are a strong introvert, you need to take baby steps. But this advice isn't without some caveats. See below:
1) You have to remember that this is a stepping stone. Do not get overly addicted. This is the double edged sword. If you can avoid addiction, this will be a boon, if not, it will only hurt you. Don't forget that this is a stepping stone.
2) Join a non-top tier guild. You're here to learn how to overcome social anxiety, not to be the best damn xxx slayer.
3) Allocate a maximum amount of hours per day and per week you will play and a minimum amount of hours you will play with others while doing so. Do not let this simply turn into a game; it's purpose is to reduce social anxiety and have fun doing it.
4) If there are people in the guild who are local (let's say within 100 miles). Go and meet up with them. You will have an instant bond and conversation will flow much easier.
5) Just to reiterate the first point - this is a stepping stone.
Best of luck.
