Forget my last tweet. I know what I love about myself: the positive effects i have on other people. I make them smile, laugh, feel comfortable. I love the fact that I can talk to a normally extremely introverted person and within minutes they're talking to me like a old friend. https://twitter.com/ShadowSeraph01/status/1260796802326020097

Depression is a monster, it blinds you to your positive qualities and focuses you on your negative ones. You become a negative person as a result, and people leave or step back from you, for their own mental health, which is understandable.

You cut yourself off from people, even your best friends, because you feel undeserving and worthless; compliments and encouragement just go in one ear and out the other because you've convinced yourself you are a terrible person. Then when you come back, you're on a apology tour.
