I know how you feel, I am very introverted myself and have been depressed in the past.
I would try an activity, it's usually a great start. I joined a basketball team, and recently have taken up kickboxing. Maybe some classes that suit your interest? It's easier to meet like-minded people this way.

Don't let it get you down- there is nothing wrong with having a small group of friends, as long as they are good ones!
