I live 100% similarly to you. But, I never thought of myself as an abnormal college boy, it's just that I have a condition(s), which makes me different from the other boys and girls, allowing me to dedicate my time to knowledge at home, having more time to do homework, and have more time to be a better student than them. While they, on the other hand, are completely busy being loud, trying to impress one another, and they don't share true friendship with each other, while our kind, you and me, are very selective, and frankly more experienced than them in life. Like you, I have more than one "condition". I have OCD and depression, I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder, as my therapist told me, which is something you also have, I have social phobia, and most likely Asperger's, seeing how I'm very hypersensitive and spend all my time alone, not wanting a soul to approach me, but here I am proud of myself for being different.

Depression is a biological condition, it's not something you can just forget like they ask you to, it is something to be concerned about, but like I said, it also allows you to be more unique, which is what you totally are!!! Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
