>What can I do to go back to being a social person?
Anti-depressants.

Seriously. You don't want to go into details but something obviously changed in your life, and this change is having a negative impact on your mental state.

Did you know that
>Symptoms of irritability and anger during a major depressive episode (MDE) appear to be clinical markers for a significantly more complex, chronic, and severe form of major depressive disorder, a new study indicates.

And did you also know that
>In their lifetime, 10% to 25% of women, and 5% to 12% of men will suffer a major depressive episode

Seriously dude. Don't do the "oh I don't want to go on drugs shit". Something happened. Your life is being negatively impacted. This isn't forever, it's only until you get your shit sorted out. When the external is good the internal can realign.

Also I'm not saying yuo have a chronic disorder with the first quote, I'm saying that when you're irritatable and have lost interest in things that you used to enjoy that's depression.

Most people think of depression as only sadness, it's not. It takes a lot of different forms, but the main indicator is anhedonia.

Not OP, but I chalk it up to my weed habit and not some chemical shit in my head.

I've never liked the idea of taking pills to keep myself going.

Who do I talk to for help? my OP is the reason I can't (or wont) talk to any of my friends or family about it.

At least you have the fucking option of someone to talk to.

Tea is a drug??

Not OP but can you list instances where sadness isn't the cause of depression? And if you're aware but not sure that you might have it, is it good to go to a therapist already?

Caffeine

But dude, I was like that, I did not like the idea of taking anti-depressants one bit; I was afraid that I would go retarded or my mind would break even more. Eventually they helped me a lot by letting my mind be in peace so I could get my shit together.
If you still won't tale them then tell us what is it that annoys you when they talk.
