The only way I've been able to deal with this is by getting together with friends. Of course that is not always an option which is when the trouble comes in, and in those cases I just draw or play video games to get it off my mind. I haven't really figured out a great solution to this issue if there is one.
I can kind of prevent this by hanging out with friends regularly, sometimes even when I don't feel like it. I have very low social needs but eventually I do need someone to talk to who isn't my family. My low social needs can keep me from staying in touch with people without me even realizing, making it harder to find friends to hang out with when I want to. To prevent this I often have to force myself to accept invitations to go out with friends even if I don't think I want to go out at the moment. It makes it more likely that they'd think of me in the future when I do want social activities and it makes it less awkward for me to reach out to them when I need to.
