I have always admired people who are genuinely social

Exactly! Now all you have to do is build in your mind the role of the confident, suave, socially savvy man, and play that guy whenever you go out. Give him a fake life story and everything. (But don't tell people that life story when you're playing this role, because that's called pathological lying and it's frowned upon. Just let it inform the character.) Don't say what Undertoad would say, play the character the way He would say it. Eventually that character could be named Social Undertoad, and you could be able to turn him on and off at will.
