Dear Lybrate-User, Friendships are ‘made’ – they don’t just automatically happen. They take time and effort to grow. The more you practice the easier it will become. It is important to improve your social skills and to understand it is normal to feel stressed or worried while making new friends. A few social skills to learn are: 1. Saying yes to invitations and opportunities and showing up for them. 2. Listening to others and asking questions about them and being genuinely interested. 3. Make sure your body language is also confident. Following these will also help you overcome your depression. There are many more such skills to learn according to your personality. Please consult privately for further help. Good Luck.
