Introversion != Lack of social skills.

Keep talking and meeting new people, get better at socializing. Being introverted just means you prefer not to have to socialize some (or most) of the time, it doesn't mean you have to be bad at talking to people.

Being able to socialize is a skill, not a personality. How much you like to do it is what determines if you're extroverted or introverted.
