I have gone through periods in my life like that and I have gone through times when I'm highly social. Getting out there when you are unsure of yourself and you don't know people very well is scary for sure, especially when you have introverted tendencies.
My advice is to try to get a few friends and work up to feeling more comfortable with more people. There are also drugs you can take (prescription) if you have severe social anxiety that will help you get out there. Once you step back and see that everybody is scared to stick out and really they are too wrapped up I'm themselves to study your behavior you will allow yourself to be human and know you're just as good as anyone (and probably better because you are self reflective)
You only get one life so don't b afraid to live it - conquering our fears and making mistakes is the only way we humans learn. I know people who have not challenged themselves in life (I'm much older than you) and they are still as afraid as ever, and frankly they seem pretty unhappy. The only way to get over your fears are to face them.
Don't forget to listen to your gut instinct tho - it doesn't lie - don't put yourself in situations w people you get a first bad impression of - just people who you feel good about!!
Good luck! You can do it!
I don't enjoy socalizing.
