Recently i began feeling depressed probably because I'm lonely because i don't have any friends. I've never had any friends other than people i would talk with during lunch/or in class in high school, it never began to bother me until recently. I'm timid and find it hard to talk to people since it takes time for me to open up. I find it intimidating to talk to people i don't know. The only "friend" i have is a girl from one of my classes, and that's only because sometimes after class i go for lunch or to the mall with her and her friends. I find it awkward since i don't know anyone other than her since i get even more shy in groups, let alone groups of strangers. I've never been able to build a lasting friendship with anyone or had a girlfriend. I've never even had a best friend. I find it hard to make friends but i try, but it never grows to any sort of meaningful friendship. I'm not sure what I'm asking for, maybe some advice on how to make friends or how i can feel better for now. Thank you for reading and any help.
