I have so many friends who care for me, and nothing bad has ever happened to me. So, why do I feel so alone and unhappy?

By perfect I mean, most people would say I have nothing to be upset about.
(And possibly think me selfish, greedy, etc...)

I considered depression, but I know too many people who have very good reasons for their depression. I really have no reason... that i can think of.

That answer can vary greatly without knowing the details. However, it could be one of several things, the most common (in my humble opinion) being those which I have listed below.
1. Boredom - plagues most Americans, so don't feel bad. Too many people live lives dedicated to television, internet, and work, with little activity to keep them truly interested.
2. Clinical depression - seek out a psychiatrist.
3. Environmental effects - Music for example can greatly effect mood. some sort of personal feeling of loss can also affect this, be it work, family, or home related.
4. You've never learned to be happy. Happiness is a result of external factors, true, but it can also be a state of mind. Most happy people determine that they will make themselves happy. For example, forcing yourself to smile releases endorphins, and will result in causing happiness.

There is no such thing as a perfect life!!! Ever heard of the expression " People with lots of friends can be the lonest people in the world"? I think you are bored with your life!!! Plus, the holidays can bring the unhappiness and lonely feelings out!! Try voluntaring at a homeless shelter for X-mas. You will see how the unfortunate look and live! And, maybe you will appreciate your life a little bit more!! And, if you keep feeling this way maybe you need to seek professional help like your family doctor..they can help you with your depression with medication and therapy!!!

Then your life isn't perfect. You are confuse when you don't have anything to be confused. Don't you want to get married? or travel the world? Maybe your happiness is not in the realm of your community, family or friends only...I think you need more experiences in life. You have not yet achieved your ultimate goal that's why you feel so empty. Realize first what you want to achieve in life then you will find along the way that something which makes you happy.
Imperfections make a perfect life!

Hon maybe you are in a rut. You have everything you need, and all the friends to support you. you maybe going through a mild case of depression. I could give you some of my problems if that would cheer you up. Just kidding. I would go to a councilor and find out what is going on before it gets out of hand. Try talking to the Lord. He will find a way to give you the inner piece you need right now. I was in a position similar to yours, but I had problems and he gave me the inner piece I was so badly seeking. You will never find a more rewarding friend . He would love to hear from you. God Bless and you have a very Merry Christmas.

Ask youself if everything really is ok. It might not be as perfect as you think if you look deeper. However if everything is as perfect as you say, have you ever though you may be feeling depressed. It can happen to any people at any time and it shoudl be dealt with sooner rather than later and it is nothing to be ashamed of.

Well, I'd get a physical... there is a chance that you're chemically depressed.
Failing that, and probably more likely the cure, you need to find a cause that makes your life less perfect. Go find meaning helping abused children, or visiting disabled vets, or working at the local animal shelter. Your life won't be perfect, but you will be happier.

The loneliness you're feeling is a void that God is trying to fill.Give him a chance, even if you think you're saved He has more for you. Open up to Him and your unhappiness will vanish.
