Are you the silent type?

I am the silent type. I don't talk much. I don't complain much. I do cry to ease the burden a bit. However, when the pain is too heavy, I don't. I turn completely silent. My best friend could attest to that.

I’m not sure honestly. When the depression gets real bad I do get that way a bit but it is rare anymore I think.

It’s good to know that it’s rare. I do get sad and lonely once in awhile. I was depressed two years ago.

@toniganzon it’s usually situations that cause my depression to get really bad. After the teen years anyway when hormones were crazy and I wasn’t medicated.

Same as you, I do not cry a lot, only a bit when no one is around to see me crying.

I was a cry baby when I was younger, but as I grew older, I became a bit tougher and tried to avoid crying as much as possible. I'm pretty much the same as you are, though I'm not easy to cry for some reasons.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no.

I think it all depends on the situation.

It used to be a joke growing up that if I got into trouble I had to come out of my room and talk to my family. I don’t talk much, even now.

I'm like you. I'm silent too but the difference is I don't cry I hate to complain too
