First you have to realise that social skills are like muscles, in the sense that if you train them they get "stronger" or in this better and if you don't train them, they'll get weaker.
I know this advice is given so many times but I believe it's underrated, join a gym. This is to target your self confidence, which is pretty vital if you want to start socialising and will bridge the gap between you and the people in front of you, in other words if you are comfortable enough in your self you will be much more likely to approach people.
In the gym you'll have minimal interactions but still interactions so it's progress. Also, being constantly surrounded by people is also helpful. What I think you should also do is join a club or a social group. For example cooking class or a sport which involves multiple people or I don't know, some hiking group. If you enjoy gaming, look for a gaming group etc. So like the above anon said, find a common interest.
