Rohag I guess to answer your question it can be any number
bigger than ONE. For an example , happy couples make me depressed , for I am single . I'm not saying that being with someone
will make me happier , I don't know that . Just makes me wonder
how it must feel . I don't like being inside of a building with crowds,
and a crowd can be FIVE if its an elevator . Thank God for stairs.
The thing is , I never was like this before I got depression and anxiety . So I am blaming it on that . I can't blame myself ,
I would begin to develop a complex . Put me in a room with 100
dogs or 100 cats and I would probably feel more comfortable.
I'm NOT saying I dislike people . I'm saying I dislike the feeling
of missing out on what most of us want ----HAPPINESS
