Has anyone had like anything going on in their life or a negative person that just cause your depression or made you start thinking less about yourself?

As a kid I was so emotionally abused I thought I really was all those rotten names I was called. It wasn't until I moved out of the situation that I discovered I could be happy again.

Is this the kind of thing you mean?

A negative person is taxing to any normal person, much more with folks with their own serious concerns. I had a friend once who just wore me out when we went out to eat with all her worries. I could feel down for days; I eventually shed my dependent friend, because I needed my emotional strength for my myself as those near and dear to me.

I think they can suck you into their worries and trying to solve their problems, when many times you need that concentration somewhere else. Any solutions i might offer this person went unaccepted and that is really infuriating. Especially if the answer was as clear as the nose on her face. I think she was just high into attention getting.
Don't know if that is what you have in mind or not. hugs, bj

Can't say I have... but that is probably because I am that person you are describing. I have always been down, I'm convinced that I was born depressed. I have never met anyone more depressed than me. I don't want to bring other people down so I keep it to myself and pretend that I'm alive and am a person. But to me, I'm as good as dead, I am powerless, defeated. Nothing will ever make me happy, I have never felt this thing known as happiness by other people. I hate everything, and I cannot change anything. Don't listen to me.

Wow, do you sound miserable! Hang around the forum and post some more, you might find you are not as alone as you think.
