im sorry youre depressed, i suffer from depression also. youre not alone,i isolate myself sometimes but that makes things worse we need to socialize even if just a little,im sure no one hates you. if you can try to ,volunteer or pick up a hobby, try to go out, talk to strangers with common interests or just talk to people, it will help i promise. life doesnt have to be lonely.

you think you might be 'socially retarded' as you put it; you're not the only one. i think there are quite a lot of people you tend to keep quiet instead of just talking freely. but that doesn't mean everyone will hate you. when you find the right people, you won't be afraid to just say whatever the hell you're thinking. those people won't even see it as bad that you don't talk much.
when i was still a small kid and went everywhere with mother, i only talked very very little but that was mainly because we speak a different language at home and we moved twice. but the other kids kept going up to my mother and ask her "can she talk?" while pointing at me. they couldn't believe i could. it would always make my smile because i can talk and as i got braver, i always answered instead of my mother just saying "yes" and they would stare at me surprised and then confused why i didn't talk more. but there was always at least one person who would hang on to me and talk so much that i didn't have to. after a while, i would start talking myself. and they later told me that was what they had been waiting for the whole time. they took their time and stayed by me until i felt relaxed enough around them to talk. it's happened more than once, especially because we moved back again and i lost lots of my friends and had to find new ones.
you could try trying out something you really like to do. if you feel uneasy because there are other people in the group, ignore them first (unless they're trying to help) and just concentrate on doing the thing you came there to do. who cares about the others? they are the ones that are retarded if they can't accept you the way you are. you came there to do something not get judged by others, so do that thing. if they pester you, keep your head high and show them you dont care, even if you do. you shouldnt ruin your life because of other people, they are not worth it.
as for the education, i'm not really informed in those kind of things since i am still only a teenager but aren't there extra classes for adults?
i hope this could help in a way... if not, then, sorry i would've liked to help

im sorry you feel so lonely, as for the school thing you can buy books my brother is doing that to study for his g.e.d test there are also classes if youre up for them, i say work on your education first if possible, i also suggest doing something fun and if you find something youre interested in, that can be a conversation starter,even a little interaction is good you know, you can start out small by maybe saying good morning to neighbors, then work up to small conversations maybe a how was your day or something , i know you can do it . i wish you the best of luck and im here if you ever want to talk.

Depression is really the silent killing disease in the running age... And most of the person's got this one
disease due to heavy work load on them... Many problems of the running age make depression and have the
much drastic condition of tension among the younger's and teen age person's also....

Looks like you suffer more from boredom than proper depression. If you're interested in some advice here it is: just sitting in front of a computer and feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to help. You need drastic changes in your life. Go outside more often, get some exercise, breathe some fresh air, you can't just stay there in your rat hole and expect to feel better. Take a long stroll in the park, get yourself a bike ant take it for a spin, go for a long ride in your car around town, there are plenty of things to do that can lift your mood. If you are in this online socialization thing why don't you try some dating sites?

And here's another hint:
Do something important. Set yourself a goal and pursue it resolutely. Make sure it's something motivating, and go for it. You'll be so busy you'll forget all about depression. Trust me, there isn't any better cure that I know about.

Well, from what I'm reading, you sound like a nice person. I don't think everybody hates you. Sometimes it may seem that way, but it isn't. Sometimes we hate ourselves. You might want to get out more, even if it's just going to Wal-Mart. Just watching other people interact may help. Don't be afraid to talk to someone. It may seem like most people are unfriendly, but I think that's a false impression that we get. You might want to start exercizing. It helps chase the blues away. Check out some adult education options. If you see something that may interest you, check it out. Its not as bad out there as you think.

Well You might have friend if you try yourself . Depression is curable disease if you try you can control over it . You need to make new friends and always try to give them time . You also need to pray to God Through Prayer . I am sure that you will control over it .

Try to make your self busy as you can join a swimming club where you can swim and also
make your self fit and slim with it.
I hope you would like my suggestion.
