How can one have friends, and have at least 4 girls want to date him, and have people who are there to talk to whenever he needs them, yet still feel like the loneliest, most unattractive person in the world?

My original thoughts:
Hubris? Hormones? Complacency?


The more philosophical explanation:
It is easy to not be content with what you have. At the same time, maybe what you have doesn't necessarily constitute what makes you happy.

Don't look towards societies standards to determine what should make you personally happy.

hmmm, are these people really "friends"? or just acquaintances? Are they people you can actually confide in? If not, go find some friends.

These are the people I literally talk to for hours at 1am. Yes, they're real friends.

Because none of them exist, and you are completely alone in the world.

However, its me who exists, and you who exists only in my mind.

Dude, sometimes I felt like I'm the only person who actually exists. Now I know the name for that.

Depression?

Self-loathing is a pattern of thinking where individuals believe they are bad, worthless, evil, unsuccessful, unlovable, and/or incompetent.

There are billions of people in this world, thousands of them have cripplingly bizarre facial disfigurements. You're probably only like the 288,567th most unattractive.

There. Feel better?

Assuming you're talking about yourself - You're young. Hormones are raging whether or not you really know it, and the smallest, dumbest, and most trivial things can and will make you upset from time to time. You say a lot of girls like you. Take advantage of that and have fun. I know this is TB blasphemy, but it doesn't have to be sexual in nature if you don't want it to. Just have fun, go on dates, and enjoy company with the opposite sex. You'll look back in a few years and will be glad you had.

Honestly, I was a lot like your OP in high school. I was very well liked by everyone, had a ton of close friends and relationships, always had girls interested in me, was very involved in many activities and clubs, and yet I still suffered from 'depression'. It's normal.

That would be my guess too. That and/or low self esteem.

I've often thought about this. It scares the hell out of me when I really start thinking about it, because I can't actually fully prove to myself satisfactorily that everybody I interract with is actually there. What if it's a hallucination? If I ask somebody to verify if that hallucination is real, how do I know they aren't a hallucination, too?

Gaah! My brain hurts!

No no no.. You're the hallucination, I'm the real one.
