Is it normal to be by myself 99% of the time?

I go days without socializing with other people my age. I'm 21 and the only person I talk to on a daily basis is my grandma. I may talk to a friend on the phone once every week or two but besides that nobody. The weird part is I get out the out and do thing that people would normally do with another person like go to movies, concerts, museums, restaurants etc. I feels so awkward being at those places and the only one solo but it doesn't keep me from going out. In high school it was the same I would go a whole day w/o talking. Ironically I love people and I've been known to a put few smiles on people's faces (especially strangers). But I don't know what to do...I'm so tired of being alone and I'm afraid I getting used to it. I've never had a girlfriend and battle depression...
IS this normal? What do I do?

    Maybe you don't connect well with your friends? If you want people go take a class or two at the rec center. Volunteer. Force yourself to make friends.

    Go to a museum and pick up on a chick. Ladies love it when they meet a man at a museum or library. My last guy, I found him in an art gallery.

    Read Solipsist by Henry Rollins, you'll really like it. I've been there, bro, I know its tough, you just have to get out there. Start small, befriend desperate people who'd need you, like the homeless, or ugly people. Then gradually con your way to the top of the friends pyramid, which is prostitutes. They do sex for money, which is all you really need in a friend

    I was thinking of organizing a couple of friends (I only have two, and they're from grammar school) to do a 5k run but they're so fuckn lazy and come up with excuses...that's why I need new ones!

    I'd say try and arrange some kind of activity and invite all your friends.
