It's a strange concept, and perhaps I'm simply finding an excuse to be depressed (which I am, as of now, NOT)... but nevertheless, I shall present this theory to you.
People LIKE being depressed.
Contentedness is all fine and dandy, but there are no real emotions... and anger and happiness are things that are a bit more difficult to conjure up.
So people settle with depression. People use the reasoning that being Depressed is better than having no emotion at all, and being rather bored with life anyway... so they complain about life, and it, in the end, adds interest. |

Well, I'm not about to discount a theory without evidence on my part, and it seems very likely to me.
If it stands true, I have a valid reason to be depressed. |

Depression over a long period of time can have permanent effects on you, both physically and mentally/emotionally. |

I never have a lack of emotion... but I have only three settings. Sleepy, zealously happy, and delightfully cynical.
Wheeeeeee... |

I dunno if that's the same thing. Acting depressed for attention, and purposefully keeping yourself in depression because there's nothing different to feel, are a little different.
Though it is annoying when people DO have things that they could be happy about, but they act depressed anyway because they want attention. Buuu. Both of these personalities are rather aggravating.
I prefer being happy. 8D I can always find something to be happy about, even if it's something really stupid or irrelevant. |

This is why I read books; If your always reading, no one can see your emotions. |

I don't know, I like being happy. Whenever I do stuff, I am happy. Also, happiness, as caused by the neurotransmitter serotonin and companions, keeps the brain working - a depression is not just a state of mind, it is a medical illness, caused by lack of serotonin and other neurochemical substances. So I don't think people choose to be depressive, it would kind of be against nature, because "happy" people survive due to better brain power. |

I lost all control over my emotions LONG ago.
I usually jut do the first thing that pops into my head. In other words...
I'm donkey-balls-insane. |

I tend to never react the same way to the same thing twice. |

I am depressed for various personal reasons. Though not much now, except when I cross my arch-nemesis.Ah well. Still, those goths and emos just want attention. |
