Well, my experience of life has been that as I have tried less hard to fit in I have become more fun to be with. People always used to annoy me by saying 'be yourself'. I am so much more comfortable with myself now. I suppose I kind of gave up on trying where it didn't work. For example, I will never go to another party again for the rest of my life. Bugger it. And look, I can be pretty depressed. Could it be about finding something or someone or some quality that is valuable to you? And stop trying to not be depressed. Perhaps you are trying so hard to fit in, to not be depressed, to not be a drag? Perhaps your depression is interesting?
It is all very counterintuitive.Anyway, you are young, right? Getting old helps with this. And all the great conversations you can have about dying. I have some fun with it. Currently I am doing it in Spanish.
