Your opinion doesn't count. Instead, this person was even more depressed by my supposed low opinion that I had for him. I apologize for my insensitivity. I wanted to know more about depression and suicide. That told me something more about it.
Depression is seductive, attractive, maybe even addictive.
The depressed person probably does not want to understand depression, not at the time. The depressed person may not even want to be helped. See the next addendum. Of course they are important. But it seems to me that a depressive person reacts to these external causes in a much different manner than other people do.
