Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I am very active and can be outgoing no one would ever know that I'm depressed.
So, my question is.
What do you thnk of a neighbor or person that offers to do things for you without being asked.
example:
I'm going to the dump tommorrow, I went to my neighbors and told them if they had stuff they wanted thrown out to throw it on my truck.
Or if I make a huge thing of dinner and brought some over and offered it to you.
I sometimes think my neighbors think I'm so strange. I'm not looking for anything in return its just the way I am.
Maybe it just where,I live. I have to admit they are not the most open people we all are very cordial, but noe of us are that close.
I just feel like I'm the odd one on the block.Am I really odd?

i guess that is why they react the way they do - because hospitality such as yours is a rare thing now-a-days. i will admit, at first i would be a little put-off by it for that reason, but would quickly get over it when i realize that you are just being a good person.
Don't change. You are kind and generous.
I think you are a diamond.
The world needs more people like you.
Just be careful...some folks get REAL upset at uninvited offerings...
Wow that point hits home..But I don't want to change the way I am. Life just way to short. I think the worst emotion to feel is selfishnes, it even scares me a bit..
