Hi puzzclar,

People are very hard to deal with when you're depressed, I find. They are a huge source of stress that you can't control and, also, when you're depressed people sense that something is wrong and will be weird around you or avoid you. When I was depressed, it used to be that I found being with people very stressful, even if they were good friends or family.

I think that the best strategy for this is to find a way to feel better yourself first. If you can manage that, dealing with people becomes so much easier and more pleasant.
