Internet friends help depression?

recently I've become so depressed, I feel so left out on everything. I feel like no one out there shares my feelings and everyone surrounding me has so much joy it puts me down. my "friends" are the ones making me depressed. do you think meeting other people sharing my things (such as tourrets) work?

Goood! i mean great :-)!! I know apart of you may feel like you miss them sometimes but just remember its the same thing that would reoccur if you seek their friendship again. To me it doesn't matter where you find true or should say good friends and you know such people who share the same thing and are respectful of your opinions and  choices is what matters!
Your old friends may watch you and even continue their same mean behaviors but who cares!! take care sweety and am here if you want to talk!

UPDATE:
honestly... i dont know if i should feel this way, i mean i dont know if its usual or not. I recently joined livewire, and i have made very good friends, because alot of them have the same things as me. I even talk to some of them by phone...

i to had a friend like this, and at the time she was the onliest friend, daily i came to realise that being around her made me sad and hurt. Why? because she too on many occasions did most of the things you listed above. I kept believing i could be strong and just ignore her half the time! Well i have news! it didn't work out i reached a point where depression and anxiety really began to kick in!
Which i understand from your post is how you feel presently? I guest the onliest reason i held on to the friendship that long was the fact that i enjoyed going out and party with her. Which on most occasions ended with one of us become annoyed
I say all this to tell you it doesn'y worth your time holding on to people who don't apppreciate you for how you are! and in the end your the one hurting!! take care...

hi sweety I'll try my best to explain this to you. Don't know if you ever heard it before! Friends come in our lives for support and encouragement and in your case your not receiving this. Alot of people including myself has gone through this OK your not alone! Secondly, if you have friends that's not accommodating you and your feeling of depression are present ( and trust me i ever been there alright) you must move on sweety why stay and allow yourself to be wedged in these feeling NO! its unfair to you. Friends are good but the true ones take awhile to come, so if you have to take some time apart from them do so. Thirdly, if you all are really close what i suggest is that you explain simply but clearly how you feeling; the truth is ALWAYS! your best ticket out from these periods in life. You can write me anytime am willing to chat of anything your going through ok! because i have been there :-)!
