My depression has definitely pushed nearly everyone away, I can't remember the last time I've someone has approached me to have a conversation. Like a genuine "I like you" conversation. These days it just feels like they're talking to me out of obligation? And I just feel like I'm a massive waste of their time.

It could be just my depression talking but feeling so alone when I'm with people that constantly give off the vibe that I'm just being 'baggage' makes me even more depressed and alone. If that makes any sense, ha.
Yes I agree it's probably depression talking. I always feel alone and lonely when I'm depressed, even when I'm with people. And I've withdrawn from people because of it and it just made things worse.

This time, I made a point to be with people as much as I could, and it really helped fight the depression. I'm actually pretty upbeat now because of this. Being with people and posting here at PsychCentral is now my first defense against my depression.

Hang in there!
