Random advice from the internet:
being poor at networking means the alternative is looking online for work
That's one alternative. The other alternative is developing a better network. Talking to recruiters is developing a network, just not necessarily a good one. Meetups, open source projects, blogs, conferences, Tweetergrambook, etc. are other ways of building a network ranging from personal contact to personal branding.
Consider building a network as research. Maybe you hear about a great place to work at the price of effort outside your comfort zone.

Thanks! I did stretch out alittle at a meetup I regularly attend and dropped the word and I got passed the word about a job offer, so it seems to be paying off.

Good luck.
