You want to know a secret? There is something "wrong" with everybody. Many just choose to ignore that little voice. I think you need to drop-kick yours.
One thing I find helpful is telling myself how awesome I am on a regular basis. And I tell other people they are awesome too. I don't always believe it for myself, but the more I do this, the more I believe it. And then other people start to catch on, it makes me laugh out loud and I end up having a wonderful day. It takes practice.
I didn't have a lot of friends in college and looking back, I realized they didn't meet my standards. They are some of the dullest people I've ever met.
Don't be so hard on yourself. You sound like a kind person. Just try to extend this kindness to yourself.
I have no friends in college and I feel extremely lonely and depressed
