I would need more information on why u are "depressed".
is it just because you have little or no friends or something else is going on?
If something else is going on, most people in depressive state tend to push people people closest to them away and want to be left alone...
regardless, I have an ease in meeting random people and it really depends on You. You need to think with an open mind and start up conversations.
Use the environment around you or pick up on things that may help you start the conversation....and once you get a convo going, very important that it is two way traffic....so try to keep the balance of the convo near 50% (talking too much or not talking at all is not good). Very important you listen and try to associate something with what they are saying and comment it out or ask a question in relation to that....
Finally, just be yourself and don't pretend something you are not....you want the trust to begin from the get go....friendships is a type of relationship...remember that.

Be yourself, even if your a bit depressed. There is no use in acting like someone your not because you will get a friend that isnt someone you can really relate to.
Just remember there is someone out there who is going through something similar to yourself. Just because you cant see that person at the moment doesnt mean he/she doesnt exist. Just be open to that fact and the rest will fall into place

Hmm... personally, I've discovered that friends are found, not made. If you're friendly & open-minded, friends will come naturally. Of course, you know the drill: listen, be yourself, find common interests, etc.
I also see part of your problem in your avatar! You need to smile more! Trust me, it's not weird, and people (myself included) are naturally drawn to positive people.

Usually the best answer is to be yourself. There are several billion people on the planet, so generally there will be several thousand people into whatever you are. Second, SMILE more, and keep your head up, you'll feel better.
