I think hormones screwed me up or something. Now I'm 18 and still no improvement. People say I always looked depressed and miserable all the time and people avoid me now. Girls used to always love how lively I was and they would always smile at me. Now girls think I'm weird and avoid me. Why can't I get a girl anymore?

Is it hormone related? Also i can never look people in the eye because I'm afraid of being judged. I can't even play video games cause i get so bored and i used to LOVE them

 I'm no therapist or psychologist, but you may, in fact, be dealing with adolescent depression. You should talk to your parents and maybe get some time with a therapist to see how to help you.
Also, you didn't say whether or not you're still in high school or if you've graduated, but if you're in HS, it would be well worth it to schedule some time with your school counselor and talk to him or her about what you're going through.
When people hear "depression", they mistake it for unhappiness, and they tell the depressed person to stop feeling sorry for themselves or to pull themselves together and snap out of it. In truth, the human brain is the most misunderstood organ in the body. Even the slightest imbalance of hormones and chemicals can cause schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, dementia, and a host of other things.
Even now, depression takes time and effort to find something that helps, but the most important thing is to be under the active and ongoing care of a professional. You can get the help you need, and you're worth it!
