Whelp, make me feel good people

[Reforged]

I don't care. About anything you typed. Your anger, your depression, what you've been through, blah blah blah. I don't care. You're nobody to me.
The only difference between me and most people is that most people won't come out and say that. They'll humor you and then make a note to themselves never to talk to you again.
Anyway, I figure someone should put the truth in laymen terms; Learn to conceal your crazy like everyone else or become isolated and get crazier.
Have fun deciding which of those is a better fate.

I'm not here asking for help on depression. I already no how to take care of that. The goal of this thread is to help me see atheists as impressionable and respectable people. I can see now that this attempt was a failure, albeit a very entertaining one. So far you and c172 (what's his name...) actually managed to have a certain understanding. This is quite a sad outcome really, because it proves that the goal of peacefully crossing fingers and hope the muslims simple convert is not going to happen, especially because of how they're interacting even towards those who consider abandoning their beliefs.

As for the isolation part? Yeah... you don't really know how depression works do you. Depressed people only act depressed when they are alone or without interaction. They do not deliberately avoid interaction or other people because the paranoia and emotions fade into the background. I meet as much people as any other person, but when trying to sleep or when left to their own thoughts, that can be where things go wrong. Depression is an unpleasant thought process, not the origin story of a stock character in a Shyamalan film.

Is that some sort of joke? Turn on the tv, open a newspaper. See what passes for news, for entertainment, for insight and know that this isn't some sort of bizarre accident. The TV exec hasn't had a nervous breakdown, the editor isn't having some sort of fit; this is what appeals to the vast majority. This is what sells. Look on youtube comments, facebook pages and see how people present themselves when they think noone is watching and when they know everyone is watching.
Observe this and know this knowledge does not mean you're better, more moral or more intelligent. It just means you're slightly more aware until the next time you consume the mind numbing trash that makes your unremarkable existence slightly more palatable. 
In short; people aren't respectable people. Never have been, never will be.

Yep. Isolation doesn't slowly erode the mental state at all.
Good luck. With your advanced understanding of how depression works you're going to do great.
