I know exactly what you meanw hen you say you hang out with people you don't like that much because they are the only people around. I am the same way!
I go to this website for social anxiety and it's weird...some people have myspace accounts and they openly admit to having social anxiety. I don't think I could ever do that. But I do think one should embrace their social anxiety and be honest with themselves about it. Say, when you are meeting people or conversing with people, think to yourself "this is awkward and uncomfortable for me." But don't think about running away. It makes me feel better at least.
Here's a book that's pretty good: "diagonally parked in a parallel universe"
