You can try going places where they sell something related to your hobbies, or volunteering for things you like. I am sure you will find someone like yourself. Just go slow, and make sure they are real friends.

For starters a social networking site might help you regain the feel for society, myspace or facebook, etc. Then maybe join a class or a gym, even aerobics! Do you work? Get more involved with your co-workers! Do you have siblings? Maybe you and your brother/sister and some of their friends could go out on the town, you would get to know them, and them you. There are a few ideas anyway.
