How to be happy?
That I am unhappy, unmotivated and feel empty most of the time is the root cause of my social problems. I know that, because when I'm happy I'm an entirely different person in a social setting with strangers and friends and people approach me and I make more friends. But that I am happy has almost become a rare event. When I'm not feeling it, I'm not good company even when I try. I'm 21 and I can't allow my depression to cripple my social life and youth. It's also pretty shit that I had a girl interested in me a while ago but because I was feeling so empty and unmotivated I screwed up with her.
How to defeat depression? I already work out, eat healthy and try to hang out whenever I can
Depression is a disease. Don't left it untreated. You going out, eating well and do some workout is good but you should maybe really try to get on meds. Depression is not a part of your personality, it's just your brain chemicals that have a bug.
And SSRIs fix that after a couple of weeks.

I don't know man, I heard bad things about depression meds. Something something dependency, something something effects only lasting a few months and then you barely feel any different anymore
