That's really actually very thoughtful if you think about it. I sort of wish I could be that way. Instead, I'm so freaking needy. It's like, when I'm depressed, I'm a freaking critically wounded person pierced through the chest and gut, profusely bleeding emotion out all over the place.

Well, I think I used to be that way. I think I'm more of a brick wall these days (which can be a big bloody puddle of "Get the heck away from me" emotion...) Behind that brick wall I'm basically just hoping that SOMEBODY will climb over and give me a hug or just want to listen and understand me. Idk, maybe I am more like you than I think, Seshat, because when I feel depressed I just don't want to deal with people. For me though, I feel like it's pointless. I feel like the whole time I'm with them I'm going to be metaphorically screaming from behind the wall and they're going to be inadvertently hurting me with their indifference.
