I often wonder the same thing. I have been depressed my entire life.
And I unfortunately know all about anhedonia as well. Deepest hell I've ever been in. |

| Technical Death Metal and playing guitar have been my primary special interests for sometime now. Lately I have been kind of getting into lasers. I think I can blame the reading I have done in the past about the 'Star Wars' Missile Defense Program for this one :/ |

The more I thought about it the worse this feeling became and anymore I am so paranoid about it that I can hardly stand leaving... |

It's true I can easily be goaded into talking about it due to excitability, but I hold no illusions as to other people's inter... |

Same reason I am so quiet IRL. I don't have anything interesting to say. More appropriately, I don't have anything a 'typical' person would find interesting to say.
Holding - or substantiating - an engaging conversation is very difficult for me. |

I often feel like just giving up yet, being lonely is a terrible thing. I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life. Being rejected is incredibly painful but not as bad, perhaps, as is having noone close to talk to.
Never give up. |
