Self isolation I found for myself to be the easy way to self destruction and depression. Going out to any social event would be arduous and discouraging. I started to notice that when I went with the attitude that I will have fun tonight, I discovered that I would usually have a fun night. If things did not pan out the way I intended on any given occasion, I would improvise by doing something I had not intended to do or meet someone I would have not met otherwise. Try new things, go to new places, and meet new people. They don't have to like you to make you feel better. The fact of taking the initiative and being proactive does make you feel better. Just have fun with life and things get easier.
