Is this depression?

I've been seeing a psychiatrist who thinks I'm depressed but I dont think I fit the standered criteria for depression and I dont relate to other depressed patients at all. In fact I cannot stand being around depressed people because their pessimistic and self-loathing.
I realize that I do have episodes however that come and go so Ill describe them a bit.
During these fazes I do not like anything or anybody. However I feel dissapointment and hatred toward our society.
It makes me not care because I feel an overwhelming sense of nihilism and misanthrope.
I have felt suicidal because I feel fed up with being here and have no intrest in being here.
I actually ponder why most people dont kill themselves. It will baffle my mind.
Even more so I feel homicidal and think about killing people on a regular basis even going as far as making detailed plans.
Others say Im grumpy, mean, unplesant to be around and dont want me around.
I become extremely insensitive towards anyone and am constantly irritated during these fazes.
Unlike someone with typical depression I always feel great about myself however. I think that anyone who is self loathing and feels like a failure is that just because they have such a pathetic point of view. I honestly could not give a shit about anyone elses worthless feelings.
Also most depressed people cry all the time. I never cry no matter how bad my mood is. In fact it annoys me when I see other people crying.
However these fazes come and go and while Im not feeling like this I just accept that other people are weak and stupid and force myself to have fun anyways and appreciate other people for the entertainment their good for.

    Lots of people, particularly those of high IQ get nihilism, because the world is objectively pointless and meaningless and the human race is selfish and horrible.

    However after a while you realise this is silly. Life happens only once so you might as well make it have a meaning and a point for you and try to enjoy it. Wasting it because it's pointless would be idiotic. Bananas are also pointless but you wouldn't waste one of those would you?

      I agree with Devyn, you only live once, so try and find a way to make yourself happy. I find music or being outside helps in times when your not.

      P.S. loved that banana example!

    The world is pointless but I enjoy sex more than anything. Too bad I get it far less than I would like to.

    If you disagree with your psychiatrist why are you still seeing them?
