Humans are social animals: sitting alone somewhere isn't natural. And as anti-thetical as it may sound given the medium (and perhaps hypocritical of me), internet friends don't count. Much of my adult life has been about just this. It's something I still struggle with on occaison, but I'm getting better... it's a process 
I believe that internet friends do count, and count for a lot. However, they do not count for everything, especially when the medium is part of what's causing the guilt. Hobbies or sports to start some simple acquaintances would be a good plan.
It's important to throw yourself "out there" and open yourself to failure and rejection. Most of the times, that's what you'll encounter. But the rest of the time makes it worthwhile, when you find something engaging to really get rolling with and grow as a person.
Yes. But it's only scary if one cares too much. The confidence that allows one to move past that will come each step forward.
