Depression and anxiety are kind of personality traits. You may just have to learn to live with them. Trying to shove myself into social situations in the hope that I'd learn to overcome them never worked for me. It just made me even more miserable. Not everyone in the world is a people person. If you're not one of those people then trying to be anyway isn't going to do you any favors.
