Like the title says, I'm seriously annoyed by small talk or casual conversations when depressed. Anyone else like this?
For example, talking about movies, weather, typical things that seem relatively happy bug me. Why? Because I don't care. If someone talks about something fun, it bugs me. Not only do I don't care but I can't feel the happiness they're talking about, so it just makes me more depressed. The main reason though is because I just don't care. It seems like the only conversations I can tolerate are deep probably depressing ones. One exception would be humor and joking around, because that's how I often deal with depression so I can tolerate it pretty well most of the time.

Anyone else like this? How do you not act really annoyed and keep the conversation going? After all the other person/people are just trying to have a nice conversation with me. My mind just doesn't want to
Thanks for this!
