How can a depressed anti-social girl become a happy outgoing girl?

Be who you are. There are a lot of other people like you. I am one of them. I lack faith in humanity. I suggest you try to find people like you, rather than change yourself. In the meantime, I suggest you read Notes from the Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It is a beautiful novella about an anti-social man. I really connected to it and I think you would too. Also, Friedrich Nietzsche is a great author to read. Anyway, hang in there and dont change yourself for the benefit of the outside world.

Find yourself! Pray and look at the sun, at the sky and try to be the real human being you have to be! Read about those that did something for this world and try to be one of them,,,you can be, God created you to be happy, to help those around you, be sincere with yourself and work hard to be what you have to be! Take good care!

if you are anti social, then it is who you are. i am one too, but still i have friends who understands that i am quiet and i don't talk much. so just find people who accepts who you are. people who accepts who you are will make you feel comfortable and from then on you will talk more to them especially not because of pressure, but seriously, i don't find talking less is a problem.

Find friends who have the maturity and decency to accept you just the way you are. Those who don't are not worth your time or your friendship.

I encourage you just to be yourself. I'm sure you're a wonderful, special person, and you don't have to worry about conforming because real friends will like you for who you are, not for who they want you to be.

Cheer up! 8) I use to be shy too once, but then I learned life was passing me by. It's your life and you make it worth living. Don't be down all the time, just think of all the people who have it harder than you! Are you that not well off you have to become depressed with your life? Depression is a very bad thing to have because it brings you down with low self-esteem and affects your health. How can you become outgoing? Keep a smile on! Why live your life with a frown, it just makes things worse. Being mad at the world and yourself does nothing for you. If you want to become more social with people just be yourself when talking to people. Make some new friends, and get people's numbers so you all can hang out. If you don't show you want to talk, than people will not talk to you. By striking up conversations here and there people will begin talking to you more often. Don't be shy! People don't tend to bite too much 8P. Most importantly remember to be yourself! Don't change your ways simply because somebody does not like you for who you are. The best way to get over being anti-social and not depress is to keep telling yourself things are not so bad. No matter how hard you fall, no matter how hard you take hits from life, it is you and you only who can overcome them. Your friends will hopefully help, but in the end it all comes down to how much you want to keep moving forward with your life. Your true friends will understand you and accept you for who you are! Now enough said, go out there and show the world what you're made of! Good Luck! 8)

count your blessings each time you feel you're depressed..

Honey you only live once, and you don't get another chance after, so stop hiding and step out into the world. Screw every one else you aren't living for them you are living for your self. Yes shyt happens, you can't be afraid, you gotta face the world and laugh. I know it sounds cleche, but it's the truth. People will accept you for who you are. Trust me I have gotten to know people like you and they are great, they are just afraid. So come on out girl the world is waiting for you!!!!!

I was like that in high school. I'm no expert or psychologist or anything but one thing you can do is step back and look at your situation. Who are your friends? Are you hanging with the wrong crowd? I was. I'm 20 now and still hang with the wrong people sometimes I guess (things used to be much worse). Bring some positive people into your life. As far as the 'outgoing' thing, one way to force yourself into becoming more outgoing is to do things like volunteer work, getting a job, and just getting out in general where you have to socialize I believe. If you want to do it, and trust yourself, and have the drive, you can do it :) You can't have time to get depressed if you're out and about or busy with things. (not that this cures depression, I still get depressed). If your depression gets out of hand you can go talk to a psychiatrist and maybe he/she will give you something to stabilize your mood if you need it. I hope this helps in some ways, just immerse yourself in some hobbies, school/work, and good people.
