17F I have a really good life so why do I still feel so bad?

My family adores me, I have good friends, I have always been a #1 student, I have never had any money issues in my life (God my family can afford to pay a private college for me and still live normally) so I don’t understand why I always feel so bad and depressed when some of my friends have worse problems than me
But I just can’t stop crying in the night or feeling empty and how much I’m going to waste my life and end up miserable and I already hate myself and my face and everything about me and even though I go to college it wasn’t in a degree I wanted, and I wanted to have a happy life with a husband and kids but even that idea has been disgusting me and it looks impossible for me
So now I end up pretending I’m happy and just bottling up my feelings when I’m actually depressed for being sad because I have no excuse to feel bad for anything
I hate this

At first glance, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s what people are responding to Others will probably see it differently.

Trying to be fair, the wording alone shifts how people read this This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.

the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here so the response doesn’t surprise me

From my side, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That’s just my read on it.

If we’re being honest, this reads stronger on paper than in practice Others will probably see it differently.
