Because they think no one will understand.

Depression is a state where even getting out of bed can be exhausting. Paying a bill can seem stressful. Communication requires more work and stress than either, and is avoided for the same reason -- lack of motivation.
-
Because they dont want to bring other people down.

Because you cant, its hard, you think stuff, people don't want to listen, they hate you you hate them :-(( you know somewhere deep down its wrong but that does not help, the last thing you want to do is talk about it :-( I hope this made some sense, Its how I feel sometimes, docs and tablets have helped alot, and I am getting better, but some days are so dark, you just want to be alone.

For me, it seems more like I need to communicate with the right people. The problem is, those people are never around when I need them, which is probably why I'm depressed in the first place. I assume it's like that with a lot of people.

I believe that depression has some self sustaining characteristics. The desire to isolate one's self for a while is natural, but when our mind convinces us to stay isolated from others (it's comfortable, its quiet, I won't trouble them,) we are looking at a depressive cycle. I've been reading a book, way above my level, about how the body regulates itself in some states. Haven't gotten to the discussion on depression yet, but I'm sure that there are some ways that your mind and body work together to keep you convinced the the low energy level, low output, low interaction status that characterizes depression are good because they are easy to sustain.

Personally I just try to work through my problems on my own, I seldom want to talk to someone about them. I usually expect they would say exactly what I predict they will say so I really don't need to hear it.

Personally, I don't see a point in it. And it just makes my relationships worse...

Because their confidence is at a all time low and they don't even understand why either , I know this for a fact -- I've been there many times Good Question + 5

For me its that no matter where I go I feel like I'm being judged, and that I'm out to disappointed everyone I used to be friends with if I ever try to make contact with them again. I can't say if that goes for most people though.

They anticipate the communication will have a bad result, or no good result.

Uh ... don't ask me that ... go away.

Some people simply can not communicate with people. I remember watching people when I was in early grade school. I noticed that people would just walk up to each other and start talking. I couldn't do that. I didn't know what to say. I looked like an idiot. and now I'm 40. and it is even worse. Because now it isn't a curiouse thing that I notice. It's that I weird. it will never change. it will just keep getting worse.
