DA, why would you think that starting smoking will increase your happiness socially? Smoking has nothing to do with being depressed or not. It doesn't cure depression. really, it doesn't.
You've just turned 21. You're still very young and you have your whole life ahead of you still. You haven't nearly begun to live it to it's fullest and won't until you're well into your 30's. Don't rush things, you will live to regret it if you do.
You have lots of friends around you that you spend time with on a regular basis, you're getting a very good education, you have a great family. You've got a lot for a guy that's only 21 years old!
You need to let live. Things will all fall into place when it's time for those things to fall into place. You can't rush destiny, really you can't. You need to accept that you do have a good life right now and you do have an awesome future. Be patient and everything will fall into place as it should.
