That’s what makes it difficult, isn’t it? It’s something that used to passively happen as you went about your life, and suddenly you need to actively work for it. Something you’ve never learned to do.
I don’t think not having any friend candidates handy is the same kind of problem as depression.
No one is comparing the problems. I’m comparing the proposed solutions. If someone says “I have problem X”, it’s very unhelpful to respond with “just don’t have problem X”.

I really want to say “you can solve problem X!”. It can be done! Don’t lose hope!
Though that is silent as to how exactly.
