Hi, 22 M here, diagnosed with severe depression. I've been pretty depressed since the pandemic began, I used to travel and hang out with friends all the time, and I was just getting used to college, but after Zoom university and graduating next month without making a single friend, I just feel hopeless. Over the past 2 years, I've lost all my social skills, and I feel like I can't even talk to people anymore. I constantly seem to critique myself and the way I act 24/7 to the point where I'm worried about what people think of me on a busy city street, and because of this, I've been a shut-in for the past couple of months, only leaving my house for groceries/hanging out with friends. I've started to spiral into this mess thanks to a break up of a 4-year relationship, which in turn made me realize that I haven't made any real close friends since the 6th grade. Luckily, I haven't gotten to the point where I don't want to socialize anymore, but it's just so hard. What is the best way for a younger person like me to make friends? People always say to look online, but the people that attend such events are usually a lot older than me. Is it normal to always be the one chasing others to hang out or interact with me?
