I can relate to this a lot. Friendly kid who gets along with every kid and has 1 or 2 close friends, then goes to highschool and forgets how to talk. I've never felt more lonely in my life as I do from 12 to 17. But you had people reaching out to you, and that's good! You should treasure the memories of them being friendly to you :)
The first 'best friend' I made after high school changed me a lot. She learned me how to socialize again, how to make any other friends apart from her. But you should probably know she and another close friend of mine started off as online mates. If you aren't the best in socializing, meeting people you've known for ages online can make it a lot easier. You don't need to get to know each other, you already do! You just have to practize putting it into real life words :)
