manipulative

I feel that I both "push people away" unintentionally and am very awkward. I do not really seem to be improving, though I am in my mid twenties. I worry the effects this shit will have on my future, as in my chosen career path, as in many, networking with people is key.
Whenever I am in a large group of people that are socializing with eachother,I eventually develop a position as a pariah. I do not seem to be able to form any relationships, I have no friends, only a boyfriend whom is another odd cat. Occasionally I have conversations with other people (lol) and occasionally it even ends without a feeling of awkward tension, but the next day I will be depressed and cary a negative air and that person will avoid me. Part of the reason I am depressed is because I am so isolated, but no one really wants a depressed friend. I was once in a relationship with a maniac depressive girl who confirmed this aspect of humanity for me: she said when she was in her up side she made lots of friends, but when she became depressed many people would become alienated.
Not only this, but I feel like I have little to offer around me but tend to look for gain, basically I am manipulative. I do not have a huge desire to socialize more, I am afraid of big groups and benzos hardly help this at all anymore. But I feel it is necessary, both for my long term future, and short term because my boyfriend will be living in a different state starting next year and there will be two years before I can join him. Being alone like 100 % i'm afraid my depression / mental health will not improve any.
