55 Harsh Truths You Have To Accept, No Matter How Awful They Seem
43. You’re not responsible for anyone’s happiness.
44. No one wants to talk to a depressed person and depression actively makes you less desirable company to others.

That’s not how it works though, they just don’t want to know. And it’s hard to blame them because it’s obviously not their problem.
That’s a particularly hard pill to swallow for me. The world doesn’t give a shit, it will move on without you.
