How to meet other people?

I have depression and rarely go out. I havent gone to a club in ages. I live in a city that is not progressive, and am very unhappy about the situation. I live at home, and feel stuck in a rut. I am an only child who was homeschooled from the age of 12 onward. However, I do attend college, but I do not know where people meet friends, but apparently the college setting is not where one does it. I have been going to college for several years, and have not met anyone. It doesnt matter - they dont know my sexuality, and I am not rude to people. I honestly do not know why I am a complete loner. I would like to have a good friend, and yes I am gay. What do other gay men think of me? By the way, I am not fat, the photo and the way my hair was at the time, in addition to the light make my cheeks larger. The shirt also made me look fat. Is there anyone near Corpus Christi Texas? Please do not make any negative comments about my appearance
