I worked on depression in general rather than anything specific for social situations. I do a bunch of healthy things for depression, but the main thing that helped a huge amount was "SNAP CLUB" ( see http://forums.psychcentral.com/depre...n-escaped.html ).

Being un-depressed now, I really see a big difference in how others interact with me. People randomly smile and talk to me much more than before. I think it's partly just that when you feel good yourself, you naturally wish others well and people can sense both of those things. I can still get a little stressed in social situations sometimes, but it much much milder than before.
