Never realized that even real a**holes could suffer from a depression as well and still invoke sympathy in someone who'd hate them otherwise. Interesting.
Exactly! I simultaneously had myself convinced that feeling awful all the time made me a martyr who could do no wrong, AND I allowed far too many people to use their instability as a way to control me and my interactions with them.
Bad things happen to good people, but they also happen to bad people. Just because we're having a bad time, doesn't mean we get a pass on everything -- friends have to be interested in healthy and balanced relationships.
This is indeed very interesting. But we have to ask how we are, what we are. Not just our actions form our personality, our conditions do so as well (probably even more). So it's not just "Bad things happen to bad people as well". I am not saying you are wrong i am just pointing this out.
Depression does not automatically establish you as one of the good guys.
This is a very interesting point of view!
