Dealing with shyness and loneliness?

Here's how to make friends even if you're shy.

As human, we are meant to be social creatures. Having friends makes us happy and refreshing. In fact, sometimes being socially connected is key to our mental and emotional health. Yet many of us are shy and socially introverted, personally i am also socially introvert feel awkward around unfamiliar faces and also unsure of what to say or how to interact with the people what they might think about me but gradually with passing time i am overcoming and learning how to interact and communicate with people more. So you have to overcome from this else this can cause you to avoid social situations, or cut yourself off from others and gradually become isolated and lonely.
Loneliness is a common problem among people of all ages and backgrounds,and yet its something that most of us hesitate to admit. But lonely is nothing to feel bad or ashamed about. Sometimes, its a result of external circumstances.
If you have moved to a new place  like , college or university  is such cases, there are lots of steps which you can take to meet new people and turn your acquaintances into friends. But what if you're struggling with shyness, social insecurity,or a long- standing difficulty making new friends? So, you don't have to panic about this because none of us are born with social skills. There are things we learn with time and good news is that you can learn if you give little amount of efforts. No matter  how nervous you feel in the company of others, you can learn to silence self- critical thoughts, boost your self- esteem, and become more confident in your interactions with others. There is no particular age for learning things, its about YOU when and what you want to do. You don't have to change your personality, but by learning new skills and adopting a different outlook you can overcome shyness or social awkwardness, banish loneliness, and enjoy strong, fulfilling friendships.

Is shyness and insecurity a problem for you?
• Are you afraid of looking stupid in social situations? 
• Do you worry a lot about what others think of you? 
•Do you frequently avoid social situations?
• Do other people seem to have a lot more fun than you do in social situations? 
• Do you often feel bad about yourself after socializing? 
• Do you assume its your fault when someone rejects you or seems uninterested?

THIS IS HOW DEPRESSION LOOKS LIKE!!

Image
Depression is not feeling down for an hour out of your day. It's not something to be glorified. It's not beautiful. Depression is being on the brink of tears because you dropped your glass of water. It’s not having the urge to clean up the mess, rather you fall on the floor and cry. It's feeling safety in not stepping out of bed the whole day. Depression is living in a body that fights to survive with a mind that tries to die every single moment. No one can understand the hell inside the head. Its like waking up into a nightmare  every single day. Depression is one extreme to another, you're either so high with happiness or so down that you doubt the world will have colour again. Depression and panic attacks can hit you at work, in your car, at a birthday party, shopping centre, or even at a club. Some days are good, great in fact, and you almost feel like you’re better. Then something small, a look from someone or a memory, can turn you into a mess. ...
