You tried what? You've surrounded yourself with sociable people and still came away unchanged?
I'm giving you an assignment. I want you to
1. Go to a social event/coffee shop/super market/college class
2. Strike up a conversation with someone
And 3. Fail at it.
Social graces can be learned; it's a process of acquiring knowledge, not some mystical Jedi intuition that you're doomed to lack. But to learn it, you have to get out there and fail. Most importantly, you have to learn from those failures and not repeat them.
It's like curing a alkali burn. You can pour cool water on it and irritate the burn OR you can drench it in vinegar, endure excruciating agony, and cure it.
IIN that I feel as though I cannot correctly interpret social cues?

Maybe, but the idea of simply evolving into a psychologically inhuman creature has grown on me.
