If you continuously post I’m lonely, I’m depressed yet don’t make an effort to seek help. Does that mean some people like to dwell on being sad?

I have a number of theories about this.
Firstly they are either in such a deep rut that they cant get out. However they need to tell the world that they are depressed and lonely.
Secondly. They like playing the sympathy and pathetic card because they think it will give them the attention seeking they crave for.
Thirdly, they are looking for someone to save them.

They don't realise that their constant misery and desperation actually drives people away.

To those that behave this way... if you want to change your life it starts and ends with you.
