(OT) Some advice for me / My Depression Thread / Thanks forumers

[Taera]

Hello everyone, first off please keep this topic serious. if it drifts away ill just ask it to be deleted. thanks.

i have some problems... and hope that some of you, at least half of which are more than twice my age, can perharps advice me about.
Some background, in september '02 i immigrated, together with ymm family, to Canada.
Now it've been almost 9 months since then.
I find myself struggling to find friendships. Overally i am a relatively quiet person but this trait is acquired. I know some psychology and know how to deal with problems, and guess i would be able to get past through this - but i would appreciate some advice.

At this moment im very depressed. I spend most of my days home, on the computer. playing games.
While this *might* be okay for someone its not for me - in school (high school, 11th grade) i can not seem to be able to make friendships. As it appears i simply do not know how.

Other side is i happen to like a girl. She's now a friend of mine but im afraid to try anything further... because chances are it'll fail (very social, very nice looking girl, much different from me) i'll lose her as a friend (most likely). this does add up to my depression.

I am also suffering from lack of topics to talk about, with just about anyone (my interests kinda differ).

I am not looking for pity, this is a problem i got myself into. But i want this solved. Any advice appreciated.

And please, do not make me regret i made this post. I do not usually make such things, I simply trust you people to be serious.

Thanks.
