It isn't anything depressing (I'm nowhere near that stage), it's just frustration. I live in Australia and since the legal age to drink is 18, I've been able to go out clubbing since late 2009 as I'm currently 19 except the only nightclub I go to is one near me due to the fact theres a few friends I can go with there since it's easy to get to and whatever.
However I NEVER go to the city which I really want to, I think my parents think I want to be a quiet person but I DON'T. I'd love to go to the city most weekends but I have NO ONE to go with, my close group of friends now each have their own group of friends or whatever and are busy on weekends or have little money (Since we're all at different uni's, jobs etc). One of my close mates has a girlfriend so he goes places with her, and the other three usually do their own thing and when we've arranged to go to the city or anything (like St Patrick's Day) it never happens. I never go on at them about it because I know they are my TRUE friends because I see them often enough but at the end of the day I can trust each one of them to talk about problems or things I'm having (mostly to do with girls) compared to just a normal friend.
But yeah most of my close friends are doing something else usually, other close friends don't really go to the city. And people I'd call just 'friends' don't ask me anywhere, maybe because I'm not that good friends with them I don't know but it's annoying.
Uni's here have a reputation for a party culture and I know each of my mates have gone drinking and clubbing with their uni mates but I haven't because my uni course has so many people that you don't really make 'friends', theres different people in each class really and the only friends I have there are friendships from people at high school.
So That's pretty much it, there's no one to go with due to my close friends either having no money or other commitments. It's not a case of me being angry at my best friends for having a good social life, I guess it's just jealousy. I hate every Saturday Night either going to a local nightclub or staying at home. Plus I'm not really close enough with anyone at work to go anywhere with either.
It seems my only solution is to get a girlfriend but my luck with women isn't that great and the last two girls I've really liked haven't worked out into getting to that stage maybe because of me, I'm just not good at that stuff.
Suppose it's just a vent really, nothing can be done about it for the most part. I'm not in depression or anything, I have a good life, I just want to have more fun to be honest.
