Actually, when you are depressed you should seek some help. First. Then we can talk.

  As someone who was in OP's shoes literally, ( my 1st job was a 4 month contract with an option to extend, which never happened) you tend to shut out people. It just happens. I can't explain it why but it does. I consider myself as a social person who can't live without friends, but i ended up just sitting in my room. When i graduated and while i was working i could never imagine me not going to gym but guess what, i hated going to gym. Heck i stopped going to gym even though i was sitting at home all day. I can't explain why it happens but it does.

    One of the core symptoms/phenomena of major depression is anhedonia - the inability to experience pleasure. It’s very difficult to imagine what that would be like - until you experience it. Hope you’ll seek out some effective help. It’s hard to dig out all by oneself.

  You should read this article and discussion. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13164925 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13164925 "Sane Thinking about Mental Health Issues" - it discusses the phenomenon where in some cultures 'getting professional help' before reaching out to friends or family is absolutely necessary, and that 'abnormal' mental health related feelings should not be shared or discussed. Your comment reminded me of that attitude. Maybe it would be enlightening for you to read about other perspectives

  Have you ever tried to seek help when you were depressed? This can be very depressing by itself.
