I can't think of any reason that would cause me to not be able to enjoy or be interested in things. I did not experience any trauma like a bad break up, being fired from a job, failing grades, an argument with someone in my family, or a death of someone close.
I'm getting good grades in school, get weekly invitations to go out and party, and have a lot of friends and family who look up to me and care about me. Before anhedonia, these were things that made me feel good and happy. But now, pleasant feelings simply do not accompany these events. I simply do not experience anything. Only blankness and disinterest. I still go out and meet my friends, watch movies and engage in various recreational activities with them, but it always feels really boring and unpleasant. It feels extremely forced.
