I'm not familiar with living in your particular culture, but could you get a dog? The dog will force you to go outside twice a day and during that time you will meet the other people also being forced outside by their dog. Plus you enroll the dog in dog manners school, and schedule meetups with the dog to play. If it doesn't work out for meeting more people at least you have a dog too.
