Actually, NOBODY likes you when you're depressed. Plain and simple. We can talk all day about MENTAL HEALTH and how important it is but the moment you are depressed, people really start to distance themselves.
They see you as NEGATIVE, a BURDEN, and someone just too HEAVY to handle.

His entire personality is his job title. Ask him what he does for fun and he pauses. Hobbies from his twenties are "things he used to do." Weekends are laundry and meal prep for the week ahead. Hasn't done anything spontaneous in 3 years because everything revolves around the rota. He's 31.
After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.
i once worked with someone extremely wealthy and what stood out was their mindset and how they never complained about small inconveniences
their coffee order was wrong? they just drank it. flight delayed? they pulled out a book.
they had this quiet acceptance that some things simply aren’t worth the emotional energy while the rest of us stressed over what we couldn’t control, they had already shifted focus to what they could control.
it wasn’t really about money solving problems…
it was about having enough security that they didn’t feel the need to fight every battle... they could afford, mentally and emotionally, to let things go.

Think about it. When your pet walks in from another room just to find you, that means they were somewhere else for a moment… and decided to come see you.
In their own simple way, their little brain thought about you. They wondered where you were, what you were doing, and they came looking for you.
They didn’t need anything. They just wanted to be near you.
That’s love in its purest form. Quiet, loyal, and completely unconditional.
