i have a good life and i still feel like shit

i just need a quick vent, idk how this works tho, so i have a good life, great even, i have a good relationship with my parents and healthy friendships, i haven’t lost anyone in a way that scarred me, i haven’t gone through anything in comparison to my friends. my friends have gone through a lot, they’ve either been bullied, neglected, abused, or just gone through a hard situation. they struggle with things i do, specially sh, self hatred and suicidal thoughts, but i don’t have a REASON TO BE, my friends do. i just wish something terrible would happen to me just so i can have an excuse to feel the way i do, but i don’t, so i just end up feeling guilty because i don't deserve to feel the way i do. my friends are supporting, and they keep on telling me that it is okay because it’s hereditary or something, they don’t judge me. but it still feels like something is missing.
idk of anyone else feels like this…

that happens man. depression is depression within itself. it's very normal and common for people to have absolutely no reason at all as to why they feel it. I understand that having friends that are going through a tough time makes you feel like your feelings aren't valid but that isn't true. I also struggled with how you're feeling for a long time.

I hope nothing bad happens to you maybe you're just a sensitive soul and can understand what your friends have been through and you sympathize with them.

Chemical imbalance. It could be as simple as taking medication.

You should read Ecclesiastes from the bible, it helped me a lot when I felt depressed even though I had everything I needed.

@MartinTheFirst It's a king who has everything, still not satisfied with anything, that wrote it. You can see where he finds the answers to hit lamentations.
