I really need this. I don't want unpredictable people and fair-weather friends anymore.

I was a loner for many, many years but I was content, people thought I was weird but I never cared.

I want to be like that again. I used to focus on my interests, I never felt lonely and I preferred being alone with my own thoughts. I had goals too. Yes, I was depressed even then but at least I didn't have false ideas such as thinking that socializing and sharing problems with other people (friends) could help me out. It just doesn't work out in real life. All I keep hearing is 'share your problems, speak to someone', but it's not true. nobody really cares. I sincerely care about the people around me. but what I get in return is that people act like it's some kind of flaw that I have.

I want to be able to 'share' more on online resources such as this, and keep my mind occupied with hobbies and interests. I know there are a lot of introverts here, hope some can give me some advice.
