>>I have lost interest in people and everything else that I used to like. Nothing seems to bring me pleasure. Even the things that I once adored are not interesting anymore.

I feel like that often, right now in fact, literally the same way. I fight hard to remain in contact with people because I know it is bad to isolate myself. It is one of the worst symptoms of depression, and as such, you should realize that it is a symptom of an illness, it does not mean there is something wrong with you. If you can fight to get past the depression, those feelings of wanting to isolate should subside.

In the meantime just remember that we are here and we understand, and you never have to isolate yourself from your friends here, because we understand, we share, and we are "safe" from misunderstanding you or judging you. As others have said, being "different" is good, is better, is the only way to be. It is likely the depression that makes you think otherwise, depression distorts our feelings and thoughts... so please trust us when we say we like you just the way you are.
