I was going out with a girl and the relationship only lasted about a week because the moment I started going out with her I just wanted to be by myself and I pushed her away.
I know I've suffered from teenage depression on and off in these last 2 1/2 - 3 years and I felt my worst a couple months ago when I had finished school. I just felt that life is just one bad experiance after another and that I was worthless and ugly ect ect... In a way i still do.
She was a beautiful girl and we had loads in common but I just felt uncomfortable as soon as I started seeing her. Even all of my friends said she was stunning.
So, even though I feel generally better now, am I always going to push people away from me for the rest of my life? Because I pushed her away, insisting that we should be 'friends'. And is this because of depression? And if you have experianced depression has this happened to you?

Maybe you should see a therapist and work it out. Maybe it is depression because many people with depression have low self-esteem. They push people way because they think that anyone who would see them has something wrong with them or maybe they are afraid of revealing themselves and making a commitment, so they sabotage themselves. In any case, some one can help them to see why they scuttle themselves. If you would rather do it on your own or look into it, I recommend a workbook by David Burns, M.D. Good luck.

I have the tendency to ignore people when I see them. I can see a perfectly good friend of mine approching me from the distance and I'll turn away and act as though I do not see them. I do not know why I do this. I kind of shun them in a way.
I myself have been through so much trauma. I have diffivulty getting to know people for what they are worth and even when I do get to knwo them I tend to not want to be with them any more than I have to be.
Sometimes I do get lonely. I wish I could control this. I want friends, I was relationships and bonds beyond my small social group. But I fear what people might think of me?" I guess that's my reason.
Perhaps you fear what people think? I don't know. I know if this has helped,

This should be labeled more convincingly under insecurity rather than depression. If one dwells on it for any length of time, it can become a depressing factor. But when one is inwardly afraid of competing with another, the insecurity raises its ugly head in a rather hurried action.
Perhaps it would be of great benefit to accept yourself as you are...and not create all these negative images in your mind.

I have had depression and yes it DID make me push my boyfriends away..once the depression started to go away so did that feeling of wanting to be alone. I think if you are feeling better it shouldn't continue to affect you for the rest of your life. Everything will be ok. :)

You will be a normal and self-confident person when connected with God, our loving heavenly Father.
God loves you, and you are precious to Him. Son of God died on the Cross to save us from condemnation, and qualifying us to Heaven. Just come to Jesus with genuine repentance and faith, and you will find peace, hope and meaning for your life. Heaven is wonderful beyond descriptions and forever without end. Never miss Heaven for anything of this troubled world. Life on earth is short and uncertain. Get right with God before it is too late. Best wishes for happiness and Heaven! (www.spiritlessons.com)
