Honestly dude I'd just ask her out. She'll probably tell you if she has a BF at that point.

Not sure if this was posted here or if you guys have seen this before, but here's a cool video about depression. It's around 11 minutes long. http://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_breel_confessions_of_a_depressed_comic.html

^ Bingo. AND, if you're lucky, your hobbies might lead you to meeting people.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your story. I'll try to be as helpful as possible, and might end up telling you stuff you already know. Sorry in advance if that happens. :) I think you've put her on a pedestal and convinced yourself that your happiness is dependent on her. If you can tell yourself...

I agree with the two comments above. Usually I don't have too much problem talking to people and stuff, but having that serious connection is difficult.

Replace job with school, and instead of no friends just a few and that's pretty much me.

I can relate to the previous posts talking about not being able to react to anything positive happening to me. Whenever something good happens, yeah I feel happy, but not that much. I'm stuck with thinking that in the grand scheme of things that good thing doesn't really matter. I wish I could...

While it may seem like others are "invulnerable" and "mentally strong", we can never be sure. It may seem like they can easily deflect negative feelings from our perspective but we don't know what is actually going through their mind. You aren't alone in your thinking.

Yeah, it can be annoying. You kind of wish that they would stop but they seem to be intent on making you feel better about your situation. After awhile it just feels like most of what they're saying is just a lie. I try not to think that way, but it's tough.

I get where you're coming from about the feeling that everything that goes wrong is always your fault. But I honestly doubt that's the whole truth. When people accuse you of fault it almost feels like they're trying to protect themselves from blame. They don't want to be a part of it or feel...

Oops, I didn't realize until now that's what the thread asked for. Sorry bout that xD

Canadian here. I don't say "Eh" all the time though :P

Personally I think everyone has two different worlds that they occupy, but how different each world is from one another varies between each person. Also, how willing the person is to allow someone into their more personal world will be different for each individual. For example, someone with...

Welcome Paul, I get what you mean. That feeling where everything is going relatively smoothly, but you still don't feel great. Hopefully we all get out of that rut!
