How People Drive Others To Depression
Depression is quite a subject lately. Everybody is being bullied, everybody is driven to depression and suicide; by others or themselves.
I have trust issues and anxiety. It took me a year to make a friend at university. I am not anti-social, but I am scared enough to talk to them (especially because of the language barrier; I am a Romanian in England and sometimes that might be a problem).
I’ve been watching people lately and it happened to me so many times. People just commenting on pictures on Facebook or Instagram and being like “You’re so fat!”, “You’re eyebrows look really weird”, “You have no makeup on”, “You’re ugly today!” and many, many others and that just made me think: WHY? Why being mean with no actual reason? Why commenting or telling someone bad things when it has nothing to do with you? If you don’t like something just keep it for yourself. No one needs to know you are not appreciating them.
Girls post picture where they look beautiful or sexy and people comment calling them “sluts”, without thinking that, that girl, posted that because probably she wanted to feel wanted or appreciated. She probably hoped to get dozens of likes just that when she goes to sleep feel like someone would want to be like her but instead of love and appreciation, all she’s getting is nasty words.
Why? Why not be kind instead? Why not acting like you have lots of love to give instead of acting like you hate everyone? Selena Gomez says in one of her songs “Kill them with kindness” and I would suggest everyone to do that. Spread the love, be nice, support everyone around, stop judging! You would probably want to “kill” someone with kindness and love rather than driving them to depression or even worse, suicide.
I know it is more difficult because nastiness just comes naturally and it is easier to say something bad about someone than to just compliment them, but it is safer; for them and for you. Take care of the world and of the people in it because in the end, that’s the best thing someone can do. And if you see someone being down, not happy with them or their bodies, crying all the time, help them. Pay attention enough to notice all the small things and help them. Don’t let them fall in that big Depression pot!
Be nice! Be kind! Be loving!
Don’t be mean, judgy or nasty! You might regret it one day when they’ve lost themselves in the big trust issues they’ve always had, but no one cared enough to notice!
