> I know what you mean about finding "your kind" of people. I have had a few close friends, but in general I don't connect with most people. Especially now; I feel so blank because the depression makes it harder for me to hold conversations and I have little to talk about because I don't get out much.

> I.Could you find people to talk to who have the same interests as you do? It might make conversation easier if you're talking about what you know and are passionate about. Here there are groups that get together to discuss books, sit and talk while they knit at the library, go bowling, try different restaurants, take 1 or 2 day bus trips, local acting groups, depression support groups at the hospital... I've even seen ads in the paper for groups needing members in card groups, etc.
One thing is for sure--it will never happen if you stay hime all the time. And I know it's really hard and the last thing you want to do when you're depressed.
