Listening Depression
Don’t you think it’s hard? To listen to people tell you to cheer up, smile, and let go of your depression. I find it unbearable, and not because i think they don’t care because i feel they do, but more because they don’t understand. When you’ve been sad for so long it becomes dependable. And you find it hard to remember what it was like not being lonely. But if i think about it, my sadness has always been there for me, not once has it let me down. So why rely on the happiness you once had if it abandoned you so easily. What if you don’t want to be that way because you don’t want to have to try again. Because setting yourself up for the fall…it’s so much harder than falling. Because then when you’re down you know you were right all along.

Its by the way the virtue of a person to listen or not to listen. A person always thinks that whatever is being said to him is said as if he/she is noone.
The perception here is important and how the person takes the words spoken by others. If one takes them seriously then it may cause the unwated clashing of thoughts and ultimatly people.
Listening to person with depression is believed to be a therapy in itself and it needs lots of love and dedication towards the suffering person for making him/her feel friendly and open. Which is again the reason why depressed people find it difficult to be open.
Any ideas on this!!!!
