I struggle with socializing also. I feel friendless and live in a rural community. I could go to the bar and meet up with people, but I don't drink and don't have fun doing that. So I am not sure how to get out and meet people and if I did know, my anxiety would probably prevent me from doing it. But I think I could manage my depression a bit better if I had a balance. I'm very introverted so socializing shouldn't be a big part of my life, but even depressed introverts need friends, I've come to learn.
