Depressed about looks and life in general?

So after finishing school ive been pretty happy but it seems like no matter what i do and dont do there is always something that brings me down.

1st thing is that i read alot of books, watch alot of movies, shows and anime. Which you would think is fine or whatever but everytime i finish watching/reading it i get this feeling of depression that i will never get to have an adventure like that or a person who loves me like that or whatever.

And im disgusted at how some people prioritize when there are so many big issues in the world.

And from being on the internet alot ive really grown to hate people, they are always cheating, killing or ruining the planet or whatever.

And then there is the 2nd issue.

I always look in the mirror and become unhappy with what i see, i feel no one will fall in love with me ever. And ill just end up dying alone with my damn computer or something.

Thats pretty much it. I genuinely feel that i would be happy if i just died, i have tried to kill myself before but im also a coward so...

    You are comparing your life with fantasy. Life is joyful and that joy comes from the ability to appreciate little things. Be the change you want to see in the world. Be pleasant to people, see the humorous side of life, read fun books, try to look on the bright side of things. Stop spending time with your computer because in this way you isolate yourself. Life is beaitiful if you see it that way. Looks are not important. What is important is to take care of yourself - being fit, healthy, and wearing a smile on your face. People are attracted to happy individuals and not pretty faces. Look at beautiful celebrities - so many of them have stunning looks but they all suffer from addictions, cheating, etc. The secret is that you don't have to look stunning to be happy. Perhaps all of us know a person who is perfect on the outside but is ugly on the inside and nobody wants to be their friends because of their manipulative ways or some other reasons. Look around - average-looking women get average-looking men and they live much happier lives that their stunning looking counterparts. Be happy, warm, and make other people feel good about themselves.

    Yes! Oh my god... I feel the same way. I thought I was the only one that felt this way and that along gives a hand to my depression. I feel that way every single day. Since I was little hell. I have friends and a decent family but, it doesn't matter and it kills me. I can laugh and joke: my heart, but when I'm alone in my room...yeah you know. I looked at myself in tohe mirror and I'm unhappy. I think the exact same thing you think. I read manga, fan fiction and watch anime and some shows but, when it's over I yearn for that adventure and that lover that makes waking up, breathing, just anything worth doing. I'd like to talk more if that's ok. Your like the first person like me. That's relaxing:)

    find something that will keep you alive from day to day. Life is and can be a sucky struggle but we should live it. As far as your looks remember beauty comes for inside too, so try and smile people will smile back and that helps with self esteem.
