Did you read his post? He doesn’t want to talk to people. There is nothing anyone can advise him to do.
I might have missed something, but when they say they want to socialize I take that to mean talk to people. They have friends but don't know what to talk about. My suggestion was talk to the people they know about those people's interests. Know your friend likes boats? Cool. Ask them questions about boats. Now you are having a conversation where the other person is doing most of the work.
I thought that this person just doesn't know how to socialize, not knowing how to break the ice.
