Just go out and put a smile on your face ! Breaks the tension right off. Choose to say hello and strike up a conversation with someone. We all have issues in life and more people out there suffer from depression than are willing to admit. People will either like you where you are in life and be understanding or they are not good material for a friendship anyway ! Choose to maybe go get help for the insecurities and fears you have if possible. Can meet other wonderful people in group settings also. We all are going thru something !!
