Yes. While there may be some similarities between you and myself, we are far different. It's hard to understand anyone other than yourself. I've only recently come to realize and accept this. I think depression has had a lot to do with it. Speaking to other people with depression, I start to realize that we're all so different. We can relate to each other, we can understand each other. But we're all different.
It makes me devalue my own emotions and feelings, too. After it was said to me, I wondered for a moment... if I should be depressed. If I should feel like this. Which left me confused. And then angry (I was angry when I posted the initial post, I'm sure the tone shows that). And then... depressed. I, too, know some people have it worse than me. But thinking that depresses me further.
