Is it normal to let yourself get this depressed?

Going through elementary, I only had one friend & she never attended so I became very lonely & depressed. This lasted long enough that I think I forgot how to socialize. Now at least half my thoughts are depressive and when people try & engage in conversation, nothing but negitive thoughts come to mind, leaving me without a response. I really want help but feel I am unable to get it because I feel I am unable to talk. Is this normal?

    Very normal. Everyone is an individual and has their own challenges so it's silly to compare yourself to someone else. You were very young, and kids especially need friends and you had no one. I'd be more surprised if you ended up being outgoing after that.

    I feel the same, Your story describes me during the school years, Keep close to your family girl ! And everything will be okay. Ive felt the same, Now I go to college, All the people from my school want to know me, BUT they were the ones that used to ignore me and call me names, Just fuck everyone, Keep close the to the worthy ones and you will be okay.

    As someone who has dealt with depression multiple times, it is completely normal. Try to talk to someone about it. I know its awkward, but as you talk more, the less awkward it will get. Maybe try expressing your negative feelings in a journal. You can get through this! I believe in you.

    When it comes to life, you get what you give. Doesn't sound like you're much of a giver. Try harder.
