How can you get truly happy? I'm tired of dealing with the ups and downs of life. Nothing is going right. I wish I didn't have to deal with other people. I want it to be me and the world. Nothing else.
I hate humanity, and knowing that I have to live with it makes me even more depressed. I take pills every day to calm my fucking anxiety attacks and to make me happy. I need a pill for happiness? That's not the way I want my life to be. I wish I could actually be happy. I wish people in this world weren't so careless towards to other people.

You'll be a lot happier if you work on becoming more social.

I've tried. Many times. People just annoy me. I have a higher intelligence level than most of my friends (not to sound vain, I just pay attention in classes) and they only use me for answers and easy ways to get around their schoolwork.
join a sport, get a hamster, write a journal, try some pot, eat a little more, and do some chores... you wont be depressed then... also getting a job cant hurt

This is completely true. Until recently I've been feeling slightly the same way, but finding real-life group meetings... it changes everything. In your head you "dislike everything", but in truth, you don't really know. Social get-togethers, meeting like-minded people will seriously give you the opposite end.
Giving up is never the answer to anything.
Well, that's your problem right there. Get some friends that are actually friends... not people who mooch off you or whatever.
I actually hated the friends I had in high school. It wasn't until after graduation that I got friends I could actually relate to, and not want to punch in the face every day (one of my "friends" in high school hated me so much that he cried... it was hard not to laugh, lol).
They're are very few people in this world that will care for people, You have to meet one, They will become your best friends and maybe even more, I know what you mean by how it feels as noone ever cares, they only care how they look, act, do, how much money they make, how much of big assholes they can be, all that bullshit, I have been tired of this so much, That I actually even seek out those who feel like I do sometimes, the same way described as above, I'm the person who will see some car flip 5 times and actually go out and fucking help, while the rest of the traffic fucking goes by as if they only care for themselves, society is shit, I suffer from depressive moods all the time, I've had my rollercoaster, Sometimes you feel helpless, Sometimes you don't want help, Sometimes you wish, someone would only care a tiny bit, while 5 minutes go by crying your eyes out wishing someone would notice, not for attention, but only to see if they're is still light in the dark hallway, to see if someone cares, even a little bit, wishing for even a simple hug, can change a persons simple outlook for the whole day, and maybe there whole life, it can just take a sign that someone still cares, to me, counselers only do it because they get payed, sure they want to help, but they want to help to get payed, sometimes things are just run by money, when people don't want to throw real hearted thoughts to fix something, then they throw anti-depressants at you, hoping it will pull you out, but even if you do take them to hopefully no longer to be depressed, did it really help you?, They wanted me to take pills, and I don't know how I did it, I imagine depression as a pit, you fall, you slip, but you can still climb, taking pills, alcohol, drugs is only an illusion to getting out of the pit, I am no counseler, I will never be one, but I can't stop but trying to help, for that they're are real people that need real help, not just being shoved pills, I could keep going, about all this shit but I just don't feel like going anymore deep knowing this is just a site, but hey, I show devotion.
I hope you read what I typed...

It's difficult because everyone in my school is the same. Everyone has the same style, same attitude, same friends. It's strange. Whatever happened to the appreciation of being different and standing out? I'd prefer to not fit in with people, because I don't want to end up in the same routine as everyone in this town.

Being odd and eccentric is what I do best, and so far, it seems to be working.

We are so similar almost, My friends always ask me for shit like " what is this question ", You can be nice and tell them, but are they learning anything? No, they aren't, but what makes me mad is when someone has asked half the questions without doing any work, asking everyone in the room, but people keep telling him/her what they are, because hes the star player or girl with big breasts, They ask nicely, like they are so your friend and all, you say no and they get pissed at you for no fucking reason, Seriously?, What The Fuck.
I live in a town of probably 400, They're about 60 high school students, and it's taken me a long time to figure out they are all pretty much worthless, they're are very few who I would waste a minute of my time with, I have gone through without even having a girlfriend, even a simple kiss, hey newgrounds, im a virgin, yay, And I'm actually thankfull for that, Because people here think it's so cool to smoke pot and have sex " I would totally bang that " I hate people who tel me to look at girls titties, or asses, Are you that fucking stupid?, Not a single girl here looks at personality, We had a new guy come here this year, a total dick, he's been through half the girls already, they fall in love with his looks, notice hes a complete dick hole, and leaves him because they got used, and this has created a lot of bullshit, I've been told by so many that its only about personality, but oh no, they lie I have felt alone here for most of my life, I have over-protective parents, I have only been outside of this town when my mom makes me fucking go shopping with her...
As for not fitting in, It is cool to me, It really is, Be yourself, like the music you like, wear what you want, be yourself, someone will see it, and when they finally do then you will finally make a real friend, maybe more you know?, I'm still waiting for someone to accept me, It's just hard knowing it will happen one day, I fear it will not... Someday I won't be told " I just want to be friends ", This has become my most hated phrase, I've gone through the few here that aren't following the usual society, but none of them accept me, this is my depression, To think i'll never find someone, It's been a new depressive I've had to deal with, It used to be that I really had no friends ( I have about 3 now woo.. ), and many other problems im not going into right now...
Just feel that you are not alone, they're still people who give a shit, not just people who will say " you will find someone soon, or cheer up bro, or have a smoke, drink this, shoot this, take this " this is all bullshit people say when they don't give a shit.
Just because you happen to be intelligent you don't have to sacrifice your intelligence to be happy.
Instead try to live your life making the lives of others better, you'll find it very satisfying and you'll come to learn to appreciate everyone for their own abilities.

Indeed it does suck. Pills never helped me get any better, so I developed my own coping mechanisms.
Unfortunately, major depression is a lifelong battle and hard to overcome. I know firsthand.
It's something every Newgrounder deals with.

I wish this wasn't true.
I'm gonna have to agree with you. Depression is hell. Even I've been through it. Sometimes, it gets to a point where it morphs into anger. At that point, my thoughts revert to how horrid my life may get or has gotten. Either that, or I start thinking about escaping my area into isolation elsewhere. Believe me, being a shut-in has made my mind a mess.
All I can give as advice, even if it's of no use (like some kinds of advice), is to just stay calm.

Perhaps using your "insignificance" as a motive is better. For example, we make little bearing on things, and we mean nothing, but while we're functioning human beings, wouldn't it be best that we use this time we have to live, to enjoy ourselves, no matter how meaningless it is? We are insignificant... so if we do enjoy ourselves, it wouldn't make a difference to anyone but ourselves, right?
You don't have to be pessimistic to be "intelligent". You don't have to sacrifice imagination to be "intelligent". You can still have fun in life and be "intelligent".
I have SAD, it sucks ass. Though I can't even imagine feeling like that all the time. You gotta keep going through though, man. Make some changes if you're not happy.
Sometimes I get panic attacks too. I find it helpful to walk or exercise and get energy out of my system. Sometimes you just need to do something to get your mind off it and mellow out, find some good music or a book or somthing.

If you've felt depression you would understand how difficult optimism is.
You know there are a lot of things I'd like to change about my self, and a lot of things in the past I wish I could change... and a lot of things about the world I wish I had the power to change but don't. And these things sadden me, but I learned not to care. Some people might say I'm dead inside... but I really don't mind anymore. Is it worse than depression... others might think so, but I certainly am glad for it. I feel content, maybe even happy.

Then the simple answer is, don't be depressed, be happy.

The way I dealt with my depression, at first, was therapy and medication. The medication helped level out my serotonin levels, make me really mellow; but, it didn't change the situation I was in. The medication didn't change my life. Everything was the same. So it seemed like nothing would ever make me happy because the medicine didn't make anything different, it just made everything dull. That's when I realized that I had to take on everything else on my own. You have to get out there, lose hesitation, live -- meet new people, enjoy new opportunities and make new dreams. Right now I'm in an up and down sort of area because I'm in a holding pattern. But I know that I have a way out when I can start my life... I can be a new person, be with new people, learn new things -- and that's enough for me. I know that this pain isn't permanent. And it isn't permanent in you either. You just have to work harder, even if it seems you've exhausted every other option (because I felt the EXACT same way as you did, truly).

If you ask yourself "what is the purpose of this" repeatedly you will eventually come to the conclusion that everything is ultimately useless. If I cured cancer tomorrow what did I accomplish? I would continue the existence of some humans. What is the ultimate purpose of that in the grand scale of things? So a few humans get to live a bit longer down the line. That means absolutely nothing to me if the human race itself is nothing more than a blip on the radar.

Emotion is an evolutionary mechanism originally used for survival purposes. Emotions have become the ultimate crutch for humanity. Humans are able to survive without them and they are for all intents and purposes, useless. Anyone who says that emotions separate us from other animals clearly hasn't seen an animal nursing their young.
Lying to yourself helps.Being optimistic, and striving for the best helps more.
For me it's the same thing.
I don't like to think that I'm depressed though. Because after a certain point of time and thinking you just become numb. And it's a nice feeling honestly.
