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.

I GET YOU. Same situation. Exact same. Why.
Here's my thread if you want to read it, you don't have to ofc. There aren't real solutions in it for me... but there's advice in the thread from many people, maybe some of it applies to you better than to me, I don't know.
Where did your so-called false ideas come from? Did you just get more emotional? For me it came from feeling like I did want to live a full life, not alone, I always did have that desire, I just did not feel it and so I deferred it very easily. Until one day I just couldn't anymore... And I got overemotional over time starting from that day.
