I'm not sure if introversion and depression go together. What I have to say is more about introversion than depression.

I am introverted. And I don't care to be with crowds of people. I like having a good friend or two; or a little more. I just don't enjoy being with groups (like cliques), a family with kids especially, and couples (unless they include me in).

My only friend that I have now does not understand my feelings about this.
There had been times when I talk to him about being in with kids he tells me that I'm wrong for feeling that way. Also there are times when he'd like to go somewhere and I don't want to go to a particular place because it's crowded. He doesn't mind it. I do! I usually do not like being with a group of young kids because they are way too noisy for me. On top of that, I never wanted to have kids for myself.

Does anyone else feel that way?
