- Depression can make building friendships difficult, but the benefits are significant. Friendships combat isolation, provide emotional support, boost mood, and increase self-esteem. However, a lack of motivation, negative self-talk, social anxiety, difficulty connecting, and fear of rejection can all be roadblocks. To tackle these challenges, start small, focus on the benefits, and reward yourself for pushing outside your comfort zone. Challenge negative thoughts and focus on your strengths. Ask questions, find common ground, and be present during conversations. Fight isolation by scheduling social activities, reconnecting with old friends, or joining online communities. Remember, rejection is normal, so celebrate "almost" moments and focus on finding people who share your values. Building friendships takes time and effort, so be patient and kind to yourself. With work, you can develop strong connections that will enrich your life.

Can depression make it hard to read and stop you from enjoying reading? I used to love a book so much years ago, now I am depressed and I tried to read it again and I didn't enjoy it at all. Should I engage in reading this book even though I don't enjoy?
I've done a video on this topic, which you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/xZ8YeGXoTpo/v-deo.html
If I can judge from myself, definitely yes. Reading was no fun any longer until I actually happened to make a new friend and rewatched Crazy Rich Asians. So I ordered the books and those books made me genuinely laugh again the first time after a long, long time.
