I Battle Depression

I believe you shouldn't have such exceptions to compare yourself to others. The key word I notice was "should". We all run at different paces of our lives and honestly, what people show in social media as fun or happiness isn't a truthful picture. Being an introvert isn't as bad as society makes it seem.

Ask yourself this question, what do you truly love doing that makes YOU happy? What's the awesome part about living in solitude? And lastly, how grateful you are with the life You are living compared to the less fortunate in the world. If none of the above are part of your answer, you'll see where the source of the depression comes from.

I'll leave you with this:

It turns out that one reason we wrongly predict what will make us happy in the future is that we overlook our capacity to tolerate, and even adapt to, discomfort. The big reason you should care about emotional time travel errors is that nearly every decision you make now is based on an assumption of how you Expect to feel in the future. We overestimate how happy we will be with a positive future outcome and underestimate how future difficulty and distress will be for the choices we make today.
