I was and to a certain extent still am socially anxious and bad at talking to people and holding conversations. I started faking being more socially adept than I actually was by copying people I knew who were extroverts and by observing peoples interactions in the wild. Eventually I did get better with both and have no issue with either, although I do need some time to recharge later on after social interactions.
“If you were just more positive you’d not be complaining about being depressed all the time”.
And/or
“Have you tried just being happy for once?”
Aka fake it til you make it
