Is it normal to think everyone else/the world is a burden?

I was recently reading some common thoughts and feelings depressed people have.

One is “I am a burden”, a thought they have on the path to suicidal tendencies.

But I don’t relate to this, and I believe I am depressed.

If anything, I feel the opposite. There’s times when I feel like I have no life, I don’t exist or matter, so how could I possibly be a burden?

It never feels like others have to put up with me - I feel like I have to put up with everyone else.

Everyone else, the world and it’s problems/my problems, seem like the burden to me.
The weight I carry. Realizing how people are, the fact they are who they are, good and bad, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Especially the latter.

Life feels like a burden to me. But I don’t relate to I feeling like a burden to others.

    This is the pinnacle of victim mentality. You won't solve anything with that attitude, and I'm sure you know that. Hope you're getting some help.

    That sounds like someone that thinks they are the only person on the plabet that matters. Like an arrogant egotistical jackass.

    Sounds like you are suffering from serious depression. I want to remind you that we aren't all the same. I have been suicidal during times of depression in my life, and never have I worried about how my death would affect others. I was more worried about the loss of my soul, than concerned with the way my death might affect others. The important thing is that I got help, and although many of us suffer from depression we don't all think, or feel the same.
