Too bad about the depression, dude.
If you feel a need to always have someone with you when you go somewhere (common in Asia) and want friends then you aren't anti-social.
Generally speaking, people gravitate to folks who like themselves. A lot of depression sufferers don't love themselves and so they aren't as likely to find friends.
What you need to work on is just being relaxed and respecting yourself. Everything else will follow from that. So don't overthink and try to keep things basic. ]
hey! its okay :) you're not alone. I don't have many friends either. Just 1 best friend who is also my boyfriend :) Just because you don't have many friends, doesn't mean you're anti-social. There are some people who are anti-social but thats not likely in most cases. The reason why I don't have many friends is because the people who I do know.. well lets just say they make the wrong decisions and aren't good people. I have still yet to find a friend who has good morals and ethics. So it may not entirely be your fault. It could just be that the people you know aren't "friend" quality.
I started to make more friends by taking baby steps. Just a heads up though, it will take time. So be patient. Start off by just being friendly towards others. Smile a lot. Start a conversation by giving a person a compliment and then asking them questions. like this- "hey I like your hat. where did you get it?" It starts a conversation and It doesn't sound awkward or silly. Then after a while and you get more comfortable talking with strangers, find someone you have something in common with and start a friendship by asking them to hang out. grab something to drink or even come over to play video games or something. Get their number and contact them once in a while and eventually you'll become great friends!
It takes time so you gotta be patient. and remember- always stay strong. Maybe some of the people you become friends with aren't always going to be the "right" friends but don't give up! there's someone out there for everyone, it just takes hope, faith, patience, and luck haha. ]
