Everyone has been the new guy once, everyone has had to start from scratch and try to fit in. When you do, your confidence will increase massively and interaction will become enjoyable rather than an ordeal.
I know this sounds easier than done, but get yourself out there. It'll be awkward at first, yes. But with time and adaption to your new environments and your role in them, you'll find yourself and your self confidence will follow. If it's one thing girls will pick up on its self confidence. This'll naturally come with time and experience of the situation, but get out there. You'll regret it later if you don't. I know you're still young, so there's still time to join a new club, make new friends and try new things.
Just keep open minded and safe in the knowledge that everyone's felt like you have at some point.

Thanks, that's good advice! I've been trying to isolate myself from people a bit less (giving up smoking, trying to be a nicer guy in general) but it's a bit harder than I though it'd be. But yeah, I guess confidence is key.
