When it comes to depression, I believe that many of you can often see related articles online in your daily life, and in recent years, many celebrities have committed suicide because of depression. It can be seen that this emotional issue poses a great threat to our health. Some people even have doubts about whether they also have depression issues. Here are the people most prone to depression. Let’s see if you are one of them. How can we overcome depression in the face of challenges? Let’s find out together!
These are the people most prone to depression. Are you one of them?
People prone to depression: Overly critical individuals.
In daily life, some people may appear very lively and cheerful in front of others, but when alone, they may feel low inside. Some individuals want to make people around them happy; when they see others happy, they feel happy themselves. However, sometimes we cannot always accomplish everything, and when troubled by things we feel powerless to change, this excessive criticism can easily turn into excessive self-blame and depression.
People prone to depression: Extremely lacking in self-confidence.
In daily life, regardless of wealth or status, some people have very strict demands on themselves, as many aspire to great achievements. However, upon encountering someone more talented or capable, they may become extremely insecure, always thinking, “Why can’t I be as good as them?” or “Why can’t I surpass them?” This excessive self-criticism, extreme self-doubt, or feeling of inferiority can lead them to become extremely lacking in self-confidence, often questioning themselves and feeling unable to cope with situations, ultimately leading to depression.
People prone to depression: Overly sensitive individuals.
Usually, some individuals tend to overthink when idle, considering many things, whether or not related to themselves, leading to a chain of thoughts, linking one thing to another. However, when applying these thoughts to themselves, it can easily lead to feeling trapped as they cannot find solutions, eventually leading them onto the path of depression.
How can we overcome depression?
Engage in conversations with people around you regularly:
When you feel trapped in your depressive world and cannot escape, try engaging in conversations with others, especially with close friends and family members. By confiding in them, you can release negative emotions and receive valuable advice.
Keep smiling often:
They say laughter can make you feel younger. Generally, those suffering from depression may feel very uncomfortable inside. At such times, before heading out each time, remember to smile at yourself in the mirror. It may seem silly and naïve, but this act can help you regain your mood and confidence, promising a better day.
Learn to release inner suppression:
Many people develop depression because they suppress negative emotions within themselves. By finding ways to release this inner suppression, such as engaging in activities you enjoy, experiencing happy moments, or going on an impromptu trip, meeting new people and experiencing new things, you can release all the pent-up emotions and feel liberated.
In conclusion: Do not view depression solely as a negative emotional issue; it is an illness that requires attention. Do not burden yourself with excessive pressure. Maintain a positive mindset, build your strength, boost your confidence, engage in conversations with others, or participate in activities you love.
