Advice on meeting and socializing with new people?

Question

I'm pretty introverted and tend to avoid large groups of people but I've been trying to get to know more people and expand myself a little. I don't have any problem talking with people and usually get compliments about being funny and authentic but I hate parties and other situations where I feel you have to sort of conform and you lose your self identify if that makes sense. I'm not a big drinker and might turn to that if that really helps loosen up.

Take a night class, join a club, join a small sports league, look on Meetup.com to see if there are any groups near you who have similar interests
For example I belong to one Meetup food group near me that arranges dinners of 4-8 people. That's it. Sometimes it's at someone's home, sometimes it's in a restaurant. But the reason they keep the group to 8 or less is so everyone has the opportunity to talk to everyone else and get to know each other over a few hours. It's not a big party with hundreds of people

I have been there and I know how you feel. First of all I want to tell you never try to change yourself rather embrace your introverted self. Don't do anything because of people but do it for yourself. And if you really want to interact with someone just go and talk to them. It's not that difficult it requires like only 20 seconds of courage. It comes naturally to you. Just feel confident in who you are and everything will turn out we'll.

Join a club. That way you have something to actually talk about with the new people you're meeting. That's probably the easiest way, I'd say.
