Feeling depressed recently.

[JakeD14]

I've just been feeling really depressed recently while thinking about general things. I spend most of my time online because my friend group isn't so great then I hear all the stories about shit they've not which doesn't make it any better. They all get girlfriends and stuff like that while I have never dated someone once. I needed to share this somewhere because it's been bothering me so much recently.

I know exactly how you feel. I suffer from anxiety and depression. What do you mean by things in "general"? Sometimes other people may look at things being general, when we don't. When I say "we," I mean people like us who are feeling depressed. We tend to take things a little harsher than others do. If you are feeling down, try to do something that usually cheers you up or something that you enjoy. Why don't you have a girlfriend? If you want one, you should consider trying to talk to more girls. Many are willing to talk to any guy, but are not willing to start the communication process. For me, I won't start a conversation, but I am a chatterbox when somebody else starts talking to me. If there are reasons you think you don't have one, maybe you should consider changing that. Such as maybe you don't have lots of muscle. If you don't feel good about yourself, how can you expect somebody else to? You have to love yourself before anybody else can. Good luck. xo

By "general" I meant things like friends and school. Not really family or anything. I don't really like people in my school either and I wouldn't consider my friends to be "real friends" either. They're just to different from me and so are most of the girls in school so that would be a main reason I don't speak to them.

Its often our friends tend to depress us or put us in bad moods. I much prefer my online friends because I feel like we connect on a deeper level. I didnt like people at my high school either i only had maybe one or two close friends.

I don't really have close friends because we are so different. I think if I had friends more like me I would always feel happier and go out more.

I'd like to be more active outside since I don't really do it.

Yeah I know how you feel :( I woke up this morning and became aware of the fact that I actually have no friends :< I've kinda just gotten used to it and use my living in a house way out in the middle of "nowhere"( few neighbors in the middle of a forest) as a great way to get inspired for writing horror and fantasy, since I have so much time alone and it's so quiet all the time. There's nothing wrong with being alone if that's how you enjoy spending your time, since I prefer being alone then spending too much time with people, well at least I haven't found the right person to go well with my personality as it were( lol, I mean my personalitIES)
I normally clam up whenever people besides my family are around, so I seem unfriendly, but I really can't control that no matter how hard I try.
If you haven't found the right person( or people) that you would consider being friends with, that's perfectly fine. You don't have to force yourself to befriend people you know you can't bound well with, but remember that everyone deserves at least a try.
Just do what makes you happy. If you prefer to go solo, that's fine, but everyone needs someone to talk to, so try to go new places and meet new people :) and there's nothing wrong with not having a girlfriend/boyfriend, I don't have one and don't plan on it and I'm doing just fine.
To me everyone is like a world, they can change things, they can change themselves and they are all different and priceless, so don't you ever think there's never going to be someone who is thrilled to find you.

Try with exercising :) I know it takes a while to get into the habit of exercise, but you will feel a lot vetter doing so. It is a natural anti-depressant. :)

Yeah I should probably exercise more as I usually don't really do it.
