First step is to make an apointment with a theripist. I know people are like your better now just go out. But a theripist will help the trasition between where you are now and living a normal life. Its a hard thing to do. Also it may help you figure out why you were depressed to begin with.
If you are seeing a theripist and are just looking for outside info then its good to start with little things, talk to people online more, and then go out and get invovled in a local charity organization. You'll learn how to deal with new people in a no pressure situation. You'll also feel good about yourself for doing something good. If you just need to feel better around people, go to the park and people watch. Its never a bad idea to get back in contact with friends you forgot about in your depression that can also help.

You are just as good as any other person out there, but YOU must believe in yourself. I use to be very shy, and then I became a telemarketer, and believe me, you talk to the good the bad, and the totally spaced out people, that make you feel like you really are connected more than you ever thought before! No matter what you think about yourself, or how low your self esteem is, there are other people out there, that are not near as good a person as you are!! I have talked to low down perverts, and you name it, and you suddenly get your own confidence built up knowing that you are a good person, and you feel more comfortable with yourself and talking to others! You must believe in yourself, and feel comfortable with yourself, in order to feel comfortable around others. You can do it, have faith in yourself, and then others will too!!

you need to rebuild your self confidence and self esteem..pick up new hobbies and do what you really like and good with.. talk to someone you can trust and get the person to help you...go out and make new friends... get a pet.. go for makeover.. attend seminars...pick up new language..
if all these doesn't help.. seek professional help.. look for a counsellor, a therapist, or some support group.. if not, pick up a religion ( no harm trying)..
stop being depressed about whatever things... things that happened is over and and you need to pick up yourself.. you are not alone!!!
all the best!!

get a job. like at walmart as a greeter or something. that way you can make money and meet new people. Having a job gives you a sense of independency and the knowing of someone depends on you to show up for work helps out.
Also your coworkers usually become your new friends.
Have you ever thought about getting a puppy or something of that nature? Pets aren't judgemental, their a contant companion, fun to train, and they help you meet new people.
Lastly, don't ever care about what others think about you or say about you.

Just like you in the past,I don't like to speak as people don't understand what i am saying and I've to repeat what i've said several times.
Right now,I am working and I meet a lot of people.This gives me chance to speak and ask questions when i have doubts.I am much confidence with myself but I think there's room for improvement for my case.
You can try to look for job and meet more people and this should be able to solve your problem.
You need to face your problem and understand your problem to be able to solve your problem.
I do not encourage you to send email to another person just to talk to another person as in life,we cannot avoid talking to another person.So you have to try to talk to another person face-to-face instead of virtual communication like msn,email.
If you have any problem,you may send me an email and this is my email:sijia_hele@yahoo.com.sg

making friends is 1 thing.
finding real friends is another.
after found real friends, they may have their own lifes to live so try to contact them at reasonable intervals.
finding a hobby to do might help you to pass your time, example answering yahoo answers etc.
cheers and good luck!
