Here are very simple and easy steps to becoming more social:

START WITH A FEW PEOPLE

Don’t take huge leaps and dive into huge circles immediately. It is recommended that you start with people who you’re already familiar with but not know much about. Start talking to these people in dinner occasions, parties, or whatever event.

TALK TO RANDOM PEOPLE

Talk to people in the train, or someone sitting in the park, just random people you meet everyday. And as an ice breaker, you can ask “what time is it?” or compliment someone’s clothes. There are plenty of ways to start a conversation.

TRY TO IMITATE LIKEABLE PEOPLE

When you notice likeable people, there are certain qualities about them that makes them appealing to other people. So try to observe and use those qualities in your attempt.

LOOK FOR A HOBBY THAT INCLUDES INTERACTION WITH OTHER PEOPLE

Look for a hobby, make sure you actually like it, otherwise it’ll become a burden. After finding a hobby that you like, start looking for people who are interested in the same hobby. This is one of the best ways to start building a social circle.
