This morning I saw the post and thought that it was good timing for me to have seen it. I felt like last night I was talking to my friend; and told him that I felt depressed and anxious at being alone. He just said that "well, that's the way you are". And then he said that he had to get going. He told me that he didn't want to continue talking to me if I talk about how depressed and alone that I feel. I felt like that was very hurtful. We have been friends for a few years; and for some strange reason, he feels like I should change or just doesn't want to hear it. And now today I had not heard from him by email at all.

He does not understand what depression (and things related to it) is all about. So many other people are just like that, too. I just wish that I have another friend who would understand it. I did have a good friend at one time who was like me in that regard. We had a lot of good times together.

I guess that people who are depressed and introverted tend to be drawn more towards outgoing, positive people. Especially to those who initiate a relationship. It's nice to be with people who are positive and outgoing. But after a while, things clash. It's a good idea to try to seek out other people who can be like you. But that can be hard to do.

I was glad to read from someone who's frustrated at people who just don't get it.
