   If people would just stop looking at others and thinking oh you're just a little sad... have you 'tried' thinking more positively?

   Sometimes we act normal, we say we're ok... because we've become so apathetic to the indifference of everyone else that it's no longer worth the effort to attempt to explain anything to people who pretend to listen and then go right back to the same attitudes and behaviours.

     @anomnomnomaly Personally, what cured my depression was seeing all these faggots on social media whining about their six gorillion mental illnesses, which made me decide that I didn't want to be a faggot, so I started going out and doing things to make me happy and give my life meaning. The power of wanting to not be a faggot is really quite incredible.

     @ArdainianRight @anomnomnomaly A lot of people who enter this cycle of apathy do so because they've been "hurt by caring". Being apathetic is a defense mechanism against disappointment. It's easy to say "I don't want to be a faggot", but there are a lot of successful people who are rich, with lots of friends, a wife, kids, family, who kill themselves because they still feel like nothing matters, and that whatever temporary pain that their death causes now is offset by them no long being alive.

     @Elliptica @anomnomnomaly Caring does hurt. It takes a certain measure of strength to embrace both the immense pleasures and pains of a fully-lived life, and some wither before this. In the end, that doesn't change what must be done.
