Playing video games, sports and hanging out with friends feels different and weird, and I have started to be more and more lazy and antisocial. Meeting new people and talking to girls used to come naturally but now has become extremely hard to do. And I can't do thing alone anymore without feeling anxious. I know have a really good life but I feel terrible. Do I have depression? And if so how do I snap out of it?

PC isn't the place for diagnosis; ideally you see a doctor for that. I say ideally, because I unfortunately have never been able to myself, and yet, I feel extremely confident in labeling myself as depression, possibly severely so. However, if you do have depression, know now, please know that you will not be able to snap out of it. Depression isn't a thing you can snap out of. It's something you work through. Don't hurt yourself further by trying to accomplish the impossible.
Best of luck to you.
