Myspace is a good place to meet online friends, but you are going to have to get out and meet people in person to make true connections. It will probably help with your depression as well. If it's possible, maybe get a part time job? Strike up a conversation with people who would be in your circle-neighbors, coworkers, people you've seen regularly in a place you shop....and let friendships develop naturally from a common thread. Just be open and friendly!

Hello, Jennifer. Please don't feel depressed: always remember that God made you, and if you are good enough for Him, you are certainly good enough for everyone else. OK? I have very little faith in such sites as Myspace - very little indeed. I would recommend that anyone contemplating using this medium - and indeed, others of the same ilk - proceed with extreme caution. Sorry to sound somewhat old-fashioned, but that's how I am!
OK. Reading between the lines, you are genuine and sincere: anyone with even a modest insight into the human character can see that. When you meet people, just be yourself, give them a friendly smile - this really does work wonders, believe me. Be a total individualist - this is something bound to impress. You see, so many people are hesitant about being themselves: those who are not will always win through. Always be polite and courteous - good manners count a geat deal and will cause you to be noticed. Trust me on that! Smile, be chatty, show interest in other people and they will be more than happy to reciprocate.
The very fact that you have posted this question from the heart means that you are already half way there. If
I have read and responded - others will, too. Perhaps something nice just might come from your posting. I sincerely hope so. Be confident and you will win through - promise!
Good luck, and kindest regards.

i think myspace could be a good idea..you can find old classmates and people in your area..i dont know about meeting them in person..it is unsafe and not a good idea..to make friends with them..if you want to do it make sure you're with another person and its a public place..be alert..make sure you have a cell phone..your in your car..you know things like that..i wouldnt try to make friends with ppl online..dont u have a job? theres ways to meet people like that or in your neighborhood..go walk around the mall or walmart..

yeah, i am 28 years old and before that i went through depression also, and I just started a new life. You have to start a business just a simple one which does not require most of your time. Business can be used to seek friends, when you start to open your business to them, you'll start to gain friends and enjoy it while you earn.

Get socialize, by that you wil able to see more friends but
let me live you this word...
"Love All, Trust a Few, and do wrong to None". Friendship is all too often taken for granted and sometimes too late. so never, ever take it lightly....Cherish it!!
