You gotta take that leap of faith, man. Start small if you want to ease out of your comfort zone. Sit next to the girl who stares at you, but just go about your life completely unassumingly and get the hang of being there. Bring a book, you know? You want to slowly grind the edges off of these tiny, essentially inconsequential social experiences that you're used to being terrified of... So you do it bit by bit.
Just put yourself out there, physically go places and sit places that make your heart race a little bit.
After a little while, those places and activities won't make your heart race any more. And so naturally, you'll step it up. Try new places and more interaction.

As you go about your life, you'll get a feeling for this electricity that sometimes sits in the air - it's the ghostly thread of an unspoken conversation. it's a conversational inroad, and I swear that over time you can just feel them, the empty words hanging there in the air. When the spirit moves you, when the energy is right, grab one of those threads, and begin talking to a stranger. If you look pretty good and they know it, you don't have to worry about justifying your incursion as much. You start the exchange with the upper hand, but you be yourself, and it all comes off as charmingly human and you find your world expanding.
