I'm a very shy person too. And although I like to be alone, sometimes I really want some people to talk to and do fun things together.
I didn't really talk to anyone in high school, so I often felt like I was missing out on a lot of fun things. I always said to myself that I needed to make a new start when I was going to university, I wanted to make some good friends very quickly. After one week, I already know that it isn't going to happen. We're in huge groups, which strongly reduces the chances of making friends (since we're constantly see different people, so there's no one I can get close contact with).
So yeah, this thread feels quite relatable to me (aside from the depression part, luckily). But I try to stay positive, and you should do that too. There's still a decent chance that one day you meet someone you really like, either in a friend-ish or in a love-ish way
