be better at maintaining friendships

I need to work on my relationships with everyone I know, too. I’ve been in a rut of depression for about three years now, and all of my relationships have gone by the wayside. I don’t feel emotionally connected to anyone I know anymore, and it is very hard for me to create new relationships. I don’t know what happened, but the amount that I lost is great and I am desperate to gain back the closeness I once had with many people and for relationships to be natural and not forced.

meaning getting back in touch with those i might have ignored in the past, while i was self-absorbed/depressed
