I'm not sure this is at all similar, but this reminds me of me a few years ago. I used to worry a lot about not having many social contacts (e.g. friends). After thinking about the situation for long enough though, I noticed it's because I don't feel like I have enough in common with many people to be able to maintain a relationship with them. Additionally, I'm really bad at maintaining relationships anyway, even with people I have a lot in common with. I haven't kept in touch with almost any of the friends I've made during my life, just because it doesn't come naturally to me. I can't do small talk (I've tried); I need a subject to talk about, and it needs to come naturally.
Eventually, I learned to accept it. I enjoy interacting with people, at least to a certain extent, but maintaining relationships just is hard and taxing for me so I simply don't do it. There's two major exceptions to this: my girlfriend, and a friend. As far as I'm concerned, this is OK and there's nothing wrong with me. It sucks a bit, but I don't think there's any way out that I can take by myself (or with help from the people I know), so I don't worry about it. It's just so much easier to not stress about it than it is to stress about it without knowing what to do about it.
