Good question. One I've struggled with for 40+ years.
I am in the same boat, so though I can't necessarily help I can certainly empathize.

I'm sorry; I don't know why the bad things tend to be what define us, while the good slip away. I guess because the bad endures while the good is always fleeting.
Anyway, would it help you to share your struggles? It can sometimes... ease a burden, I guess.

I guess it's pathetic but just not being a normal human because of my "depression" like I can't function .. I feel like I'm a child i'm so scared to do anything by myself .. Just sucks seeing everyone living a normal life while I feel like I can't be a normal person it's too late for me I've failed everything.. every door is closed

That's not pathetic. Depression is a real illness that can impact people in different ways and can be quite debilitating. And I also don't think what you are experiencing places you outside of normal human experience in any way. There is a lot of variation within normal, after all. I mean, I'm generally a highly functioning person and, you know, I still have my husband look over my work ALL THE TIME because I don't have the ability to trust myself. It doesn't make me a child, just like your need for reassurance or companionship doesn't make you a child.
Why do you feel that all of your doors are closed?
