My friend circle is very small as well, I think I can understand your feeling. You still have many years left, I got a job when I was 25 years old, I had little to no success and repeated failures before that. I had no confidence in myself, but I kept trying.
Try to keep yourself busy, and do little things that give you even a hint of happiness. I gave up on learning guitar 3 years ago, but I am making great progress now because I just gave it a chance. Now I have something to do when I'm feeling down.

Thanks a lot for responding. I appreciate it!!
I actually joined Meetup.com to participate in some events and I went to an art one. I want to go to more but I get so nervous trying new things...-sighs-
I used to play the piano and the flute and I used to dance modern, tap, jazz and ballet...I quit all of that when my depression hit around 13/14. I want to get back into piano and modern dance but I'm so hard on myself. I'm a huge perfectionist and that holds me back big time. I wish I wasn't so hard on myself. I'll try my best to overcome that characteristic of myself though. Thanks a lot.
