Is it normal to feel sad for no reason?

I guess you would say I'm our average teenage girl. I giggle when I see a cute guy and I whine about never having anything to wear. The thing is that thats only me on the outside. I'm so different when I'm not hanging out with friends or at school. I get so depressed sometimes but no one really knows about it. I lock myself in my room and do nothing all day because frankly I don't care about anything. I constantly lie to my friends that I'm to sick to go out or I'm grounded or I have to babysit because I just don't want to be anywhere but in my room alone. I wonder sometimes why I'm so sad all the time I mean there's people who have it worse than me what am I complaining about?
I have a house, I have cloths, I have food. Why should I be sad? The truth is I don't know. I hate this feeling like I can't be normal. See I got in an accident when I was 11 months or so no major injuries but it left me with scars and now I have to wear certain cloths to cover them. You'd think I'd be used to the stares and rude comments about it but I'm not. It hurts it really does but I pretend it doesn't bother me and I put up a hard front but when I'm alone it just crashed down and I'm left to wallow in my own self pity sometimes I feel so pathetic and I don't know what to do. Is it normal to feel this way?

    yes it's totally normal i get that too sometimes i even cry and i don't even f**cking why ......
    do you know......
    lately i read a سcientific articles psychologist said that when you cry for no reason that mean someone miss you very much and when you get sad for nothing that's mean there is someone in this world feel really sad because you are not next to him/her so s/he sends you the negative energy in your mind and makes you feel the same as him/her if there emotions are really strong to you..

    I think you just described like 60% of human population.

    And I truly believe that we are better than the other 40%.

    I feel the same sometimes. My legs are pretty bad looking, I have eczema and my skin never looks great, so I know what you mean about the rude comments and self pity. I never used to wear cute dresses or shorts because I was afraid to show them, but one day- I think it was my senior year of high school- I just did it without thinking. I was self conscious all day, but I did it again the next week. Every time I left baring my legs, I grew more confident. I think you just have to stop worrying about what everyone else will think, which is easier said than done. It's easier to do it if you start by pretending that you don't care. Kind of like how forcing a smile eventually makes you feel genuinely happy :) It's not about the pretending, it's about giving yourself the chance to really feel that way.

      U gotta gotta try Aveeno (body moisturizer lotion brand)
      Apply twice a day right after bath.

      I have tried steroid lotion, antibiotics etc but it never work. Until I tried Aveeno.
      Works like magic.
