Why I need to be around people to feel happy?
I am currently in college. I don't know why, but I constantly need to be around people to feel happy, otherwise I feel depressed. I feel I don't have any value and will have any value only if someone else approves me. I fear going for lunch or dinner alone. I fear people will judge me if they see me alone. I am scared to be lonely. Why?

You're an extrovert. That's what I could gather from the way you described yourself. But I think basing your perspective of self on what others think is something you could change. You'll live a happier life.
I am an extrovert with terrible social skills. That's what hurts the most
Hi, learn to get comfortable being alone. You will make friends, you will get setbacks. It's life.
If you become comfortable with yourself, you will be more blissful with people too. I am also a bit not comfortable being alone in a restaurant but that is something we need to conquer.
Try to find what things you like to do alone. What makes you happy other than people?
I have compounds of loneliness times when I feel why there are not people around me. But I find things to be happy with myself too.
To enjoy own company, to let go of what people think are big paths towards reaching close to self. It will happen slowly.
Yes. This really forced me to think in depth. I didn't really knew what should I do alone. I never thought about that.
If I was alone, I tried to get to some person and spend time with him/her.
Thanks a lot mate. This really helped
Don’t ever feel judged to go to a dinner or lunch alone. It’s a very simple thing that we should all feel okay to do:)
I do love lunches alone so many times

So you have a SO? It's a bit easier I imagine if you have someone to talk to.
