This.

People are starting to figure it out though, myself included. You really have to make an effort to be social and talk to people, but you have to find places where that behavior is expected.

For me it was a country dance hall in austin. They have a little community here and everyone is super friendly and supportive. But - I had to actually go there and start talking to people to discover that, which most young people aren't willing to do these days.
