I just finished reading the book "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" Please read this. First off, it will make you feel better about yourself and realise that there are many people like you. It also addresses the "Asian introvert living in outspoken America" cultural issue. To meet people, you need to change your environment. Put yourself in situations where you are forced to interact. Groups or meetups are a great place to get started. It depends on your interests but something active like a sport or dancing will generally help you form better bonds. Will it happen right away? No, but keep going on a weekly basis and become a regular. You'll find that friendships will happen. To initiate friendships from these situations, you need to move the relationship to another setting. If you only see the person at the meetup, it's more of an acquaintance. If you get along with someone you can say something like "Hey, I'm thinking of seeing that new movie this weekend. You want to come along?" The envy you feel when you see groups is a good thing. It means you want to move in that direction.
