I suffer from depression too. I never wanted to tell anyone because I was to embarressed about it because I thought that people would look at me different. I don't care if they do anymore because I am my own person. If you have a friend or meet new people tell them about it. If they like you for you then they won't even bother with it and you know that they are the ones you want for friends.

First off, please don't think you're insane. There's really nothing insane about depression. Even severe depression. The most sane and together people in the world could probably understand why people suffer from it in today's day and age!
Second off, although all people look for similar qualities in friends, you can't tailor yourself to fit someone else's needs. Here's the thing. When you suffer from depression, it's easy to lose yourself in the misery and forget who you are and what you want, but you need to work all that out before you can really be a good friend. Put it this way. If you think people want someone who is lively and confident all the time, you'll be so busy bending over backwards trying to be something you just aren't up to being all the time that you will eventually make yourself feel worse.
Instead of asking what sort of personality traits people look for in a friend, ask yourself what YOU would look for in a friend. What sort of person makes a good friend? The most common things people look for in a good friend are reliability, trustworthiness, loyalty, compassion, understanding and accepting of people.
In order to get friends who are like that, you need to BE a friend who is like that. But before you can really open yourself up to a friend, you need to be comfortable in your own skin and to be able to accept yourself. After all, if you can't like you, how can anyone else?
Be a friend to yourself first, then be a friend to others and I'm sure that there are PLENTY of people out there who will love to be a friend to you.
