I think I can partially understand where you're coming from but that's also because I don't like depressed people to. Or rather I don't like the depressed people that I've dealt with. In your case you describe ones that don't do anything, they just wallow in their own self pity and do nothing to cheer themselves up. That's understandable to dislike a person like that. For me personally, the people I've dealt with are always angry, they're never really sad, they're just angry that you're not "helping" them when in actuality you are reaching out, it's just that they don't want to help themselves. I would be glad to hear your story and help cheer yourself up, but not if you're going to keep getting mad at me because I can't "understand" you. I make an effort to try and understand. I'm not trying to hurt anyone, I've dealt with depression before, and I know what it's like to have certain expectations of how people should behave towards you, but I don't think you should be angry. If you want someone to help you, you should at least learn to let someone into your world.
I think it's great that you realize your problems aren't that special or rather that it's common. But that last part of your post makes no sense to me. Care to explain?
Do you mean the last sentence about people afraid to live? It seems lots of people let their fears get in the way. Their fears of failure make them not try which is the ultimate failure. I don't think it's failure to try and not get the results desired. That happens to everyone. But people who try at nothing and do not do anything to better their situation have caused their own failure. You are correct that people cannot be helped unless they help themselves. Someone who just complains about things but does nothing to fix it cannot make a difference. I've been depressed and depression is something that you can give into or fight. People give up because it can be even more miserable to do things while depressed but sometimes you have to be willing to be miserable to fight for the things you care about.
Oh I see thanks for the explanation in that case I agree. I to understand that depression can be hard, but you shouldn't just sit there and take it. Fight back, try to work on yourself. Life's a bitch, so bend it over a table. I agree with you in that you shouldn't be afraid to try, even if you are depressed at least make an effort. I know that when you're depressed the world can be a dark place, but you have to try and find the light, it's just sad when you don't even try and make an effort. And that point you sort of deserve to be depressed.
I think I just realized why some depressed people anger me so much.
