I think that I need some friends that are close to where I live. I have no friends that live around me.

One of the things I've found to be helpful is to go out to a coffee shop near my home with my knitting, without any other "blockers' (headphones, a book etc). Look like you're not really focused and just sitting there relaxing. I've met some really nice people that way.
I have a very hard time going up to people, but have no problem talking to them if they come up to me first. Don't know why, I guess it has to do with being raised to "be seen and not heard" sorta...
I've also joined a choir that meets once a week. I don't see anyone outside of that, but it's nice to have just a bit of regular social interaction.
Hope this helps.
