Depression

I came across this part on depression in my Abnormal Psychology textbook:

"The following signs of depression seem to elicit negative reactions in others: slow speech, silences, negative self-disclosures, negative affect, poor eye contact, and fewer positive facial expressions."

Have you ever felt negatively towards anyone who may have been like this to you? If you have, do you ever wonder about the superficiality of mankind...

I just got myself into another contradictory situation.
