As humans we are all adaptable to our circumstances and conditions. Another way of saying it is "giving up" or "loss of hope".

well see it is normal to those who experince depression to those who dont yes it would be unnormal simply because someone who has not been through chronic depression does not know how it completely grasps all aspects of your life. And as for why you are feeling this way is because it is becoming habitual when you are depressed for long enough our brain adapts to what we are feeling therefore depression becomes our natural state of mind convincing our brains that we like it.

Nope. I feel that way. You get used to it after awhile. I don't like it but i have to learn to live with it because i was really optimistic about getting rid of it during the first 10 years and now i accept it. I can decrease it but it may never go away. Recently i've become a super loner and not socialize and don't feel bad about it like i use to. That urge for contact has decreased. It could be the internet or i simply don't want to get hurt anymore.

i'm not sure. but coming from personal experience, I sort of do. i can be quite self-indulgent. i like to think sometimes that my inability to function properly this world is kind of a big "f you" to it. which i know isn't right...but like i said, i'm self-indulgent. and bitter.
anyway, the low-self esteem and the self-hate is almost like a little hole you've dug up for yourself - it's dark, unpleasant, and makes you feel trapped. but in a way, it protects you. if i were happy and content, if i were at the top of things, i'd be afraid of falling. you can't fall any deeper when you're in that hole. and sometimes i think the fall is worse than staying down here.
and also the fact that depression can feel like a part of who you are as a person. being a happy, normal person just doesn't seem like who you are. and that's scary too.

Maybe you've just grown accustomed to it and can't imagine anything else? A positive thing I've found with years of depression is that it seems to bring some kind of strange but real perspective and wisdom..

I have been depressed all of my life; if I didn't have depression to some degree, I wouldn't feel like "me." I don't know if it's "normal"; it's just part of who I am.
