Depressive Realism

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have been accused of being a "Downer". People teeling me I look unhappy, when I'm really just calling things how I see them. In college, when I drank more, I was accused of "Killing people's buzz". Right now I'm married to someone who regularly chastizes me for not smiling because it depresses her. I'm not even allowed to look depressed, even though my wife's world view is much bleaker than mine in general, or beacuse it's bleaker. Expressing my depression, or realism, only alienates me further.

Not sure I was really trying to make a point, just venting.
