I'll tell my side of depression and see if the main points is simular for other Aspies relating to No social life, single life, no one who can relate to your interests, etc.
My interests is Cartoonish Humor weither it's slapstick, surreal, Dark, or Satire.
I have the ability to laugh at the world. I feel it's a survival tool because to me, without humor it's a sad, cold and dark life to live in. But my ability will sometimes wear out noticing that I'm the only one laughing at the world and I don't have any backup (aka friends who relate to this interest). So my self-confidence goes down and I become Isselated and feel that my interests aren't going to help me. Then I go into depression whiching that I had friends that can relate to my love of my interests and even a life partner.
Sometimes going back to the interest and talking out loud as if you were giving a leture to a class or having a conversation as if you had a friend right next you, it might help only a little bit and then again, it might not.
Then you start to feel negitive towards people that are in your life like your parents, random people walking by, and as soon as you hear someone yelling in anger even if it's not towards you, you just want to scream out something random to them just to top the pain is greater that there's is.
Does this feeling ever happens to you fellow Aspies?
