Or...

Do what I do, complete emersion...

you say you have a job, start there.

Talk to waitresses (ie. hello and shit, dont try to have a conversation about Macbeth) and other people who are obligated to help you so you can get a feel for different attitudes and emotions.

Watch any reality television. I swear on my great grandmothers grave that I knew a kid who went from a complete recluse to a very popular person, and credited it all to reality television.

If you think that people dont understand you, dont worry. Its only when you start wit shizz like dis cause people dont know what you be talkin about, ya heard...
