A surefire way to drive me into a rage, also. I've punched people fucking with my charges (high friends) while I babysat them. Did they think that their actions may provoke a terrible trip? No. They only did it for their own personal tittilation.
Which is why I take up issue with this:

Untrue. In fact, most, if not all, people have experienced depression.
However, like my example with fucking with high people maliciously, others, when hearing about another's depressive state, say what they say because it makes them feel better, without giving a damned bit of care to the depressed victim.
Everyone is selfish, to a degree.
But some people honestly need help.
Their "selfishness" is immaterial to what is at stake.
