Hey Konmai,
First of all, I think there is nothing you can do to help this friend of yours, other than be the best friend you can be for her. In the end, the shyness and depression are
her problems and only
she can overcome them if she
wants to. Only she has the power to turn her life around!

You could try to point out that this wall she has constructed may ensure that she doesn't get hurt, but it also prevents her from receiving all the love she deserves. To receive love, you need to be prepared to expose yourself to it, which also means risk being hurt. Fortunately, there is plenty of love to go around in the world!
Jim.
