View submission: People WITHOUT depression and anxiety, what is life like?
Uh, you're one of those! Lol...honestly, when one is deep in the dumps, optimistic people can be very annoying. The worst ones are the toxic positivity people that tell you to smile when you feel like dying. I know for a fact that people who haven't experienced anxiety or depression can be quite annoyed by those who do. I've heard it more than once.. I'm curious, how do you feel when you see someone being sad or pessimistic? Do you get it or do you think they're being "negative"....you know what I mean?

Curious, when you are sad, depressed, anxious etc how do you prefer people to act? Would you prefer that they try to "snap" you out of it and help you forget about it? Would you prefer that they give you advice about the situation? Or would you prefer that they just leave you alone?
I've always wondered because I'm afraid of coming off as insensitive if I try and offer solutions to the problem because maybe it's not that easy. Idk, I've never experienced this so it's hard to genuinely empathize, you know what I mean?
