This is interesting - not many people have answered this poll, but all who have chose "internalizer".
This reminds me of something that I have suspected about my other support group for partners of depressed people. Most of them blame depression for their partner's bad behavior (infidelity, emotional abuse, breakups, etc) and it rarely sounds consistent with my husband's experience and what I've learned from talking to my friends here at PC. Most of them say that their depressed partners blame them or the world for their problems, and that doesn't sound too much like the depression I know.
I'm not drawing any conclusions now or probably ever about this, and it wasn't the reason I posted this poll, but I do find the contrast to be very interesting.
