How is calling the sky blue arrogant?


Both of your comments have the "you don't know me" sentiment being expressed, which I find that people only utilize once they've been outed to an uncomfortable degree and are using that statement evasively, to deflect, to attempt to obscure a facet of themselves that they are uncomfortable with that has been brought to light.

Yes, people are obviously here because they want to be. They registered to be a user here just like everyone else.

Even people in "bad" living situations are only there because they want to be on some level. Even if they find it very "undesirable" or even "painful", because at a point a persons pain can easily become their pleasure- which is obvious in how some almost gloat about their pain and are so into their own suffering and suffering in general. The news/media knows this, that's why they show the stories they do.

Why do some people get "trapped" in an abusive relationship for so long? Because on some level they {liked/like} it for a time.

Why do some people get trapped in an impoverished environment fo so long? Because on some level they {liked/like} it for a time.

Why do some people get trapped in depression for so long? Because after a while they "like" it, they don't mind it so much anymore, it becomes normal, it becomes pleasurable- even though they may outwardly create the appearance of being "fed up with it", they do more actively to enable their own depression than they do to try to resolve it.
Hi!
You are giving explanations that psychology or psychiatry textbooks give us. I think people get trapped in an abusive relationship for so long coz they love the guy/gal. Some people get trapped in an impoverished environment coz they dont have the means to come out of it. And for getting addicted to depression, even if we mentally try with our willpower to break out of depression, is our willpower strong enough to fight the scientific environment that switches on our genetic switches causing depression?
BTW when I read your first post I never thought you were blaming depressed people like me for our inability to break free from our depression coz we choose to think negatively. I only thought that you were giving a definition of depression.
I have been in depression since childhood, I would like to get help from you.
Thanks.
