But I am not good at it, and it is obvious how hard I try sometimes. Idk if this will naturally heal itself out, or if there is something else going on here. I'd appreciate it if someone could shed some light.

It sounds like some depression. It's not always about typically feeling sad. And if that's the case, the last thing you want to be doing is giving yourself a hard time or judging yourself. That'll just keep you trapped in a vicous cycle.
Do you have things you are really passionate about? Those are the things you want to focus on, even if you don't feel like it, it will help. I do know hopelessness and powerlessness are liars, so don't answer the door if they come knockin! And know that things can change in an instant. Empower yourself, if you don't feel like doing much, set small goals and each one will bring you renewed confidence. I think when you feel more connected to you again you will find it easier to connect to others.
Also if you can, and you feel so inclined...maybe try Reiki, it will help you. If you would like some distant Reiki, feel free to PM me.
Make sure you have no vitimin or mineral deficencies... Your doctor can test for these. Deficencies can cause these kinds of problems. And good diet is important.
I could be wrong but sounds like something made you shut down a little, if so...don't worry, when you feel better about things you will open up to life and people again.
Sending healing wishes your way.
