The most depressed person in the family

[Ab de villiers]

From experience, I have come to understand that anyone too happy, talkative or too friendly has a very weak or dark side they are trying hard to cover up by over expressiveness instead of facing their fears square on. That is why we see people a lot of seemingly happy people get depressed every now and then when their happy cover can no longer be sustained. I am always careful with any person who have a flashy personality, most of them are broken inside and when you get close to them, you can be very surprised at what you discover. Some of those kind of people are living in denial of reality, their flash of happiness is just a coverage, they are not really happy beyond their facial expression.

This fact reflects a deep observation. To understand a person's mood behavior and happiness, only an outward smile is not enough, but it is also necessary to feel the hidden state behind it. Some people use silence, smile and cheerfulness as their support instead of expressing their worries.They become happy themselves by seeing others happy. Such people look very strong from the outside but in reality many worries and emotions are hidden in their hearts. Their cheerfulness should not be considered as their weakness because they are enduring many things inside and are fighting a lonely battle. The real beauty of life is that despite their own sorrow a person causes happiness for others from their own self. Such people are truly valuable because they make their environment bright and pleasant with their words. Therefore, it is better not to judge every person by their happiness and smile, but rather to value their feelings listen to them and understand their emotions.

Depression happens day and night. In a family facing what so ever
Who do you think is the most depressed person in the family?
Could it be the eldest son?
What is the fact behind your reasons?

I would say that the most depressed person in the family is the person that provides everything for each member of the family and that's a whole lot of work to do for one person, for some family it is the eldest, the father or even the last or middle child. Before now it used to be our fathers because they were the key provider of the family and then it moved to the eldest child but now in this era it is anyone that provides and sometimes even our mothers suffer from depression too because they too have become providers for their family, so basically anyone in the family can be depressed and not just the eldest son.

A single mom who plays the role of a father and mother also has reason to be very depressed cause raising a children requires both gender and it's not easy for single moms to do it alone. Women in the family that undergo painful menstruation also have more reasons to be depressed during those periods than the eldest son.

In the case of mothers getting depressed when they handle the house responsibilities alone when they are married and their husbands are alive is understandable but to the ladies who get depressed over what they are passing through during their monthly visitors is unacceptable cause there are better ways to prevent such things from happening and being depressed will only add to their problems cause the solution is possible but aside this nobody should become depressed if they have solutions to their problems especially if it's has to do with the burdens of the family. That you are a first child or the only child doesn't stop you from saying no when the loads are much, don't kill yourself to please everyone in the family.

The pressure is real but it's no longer based on being the firstborn, it's on those who have money and they don't care if one is engaging into illegal activities for the money, all they care is that they should just provide for them. And this is what makes other members of the family to feel bad due to the treatment they receive unlike how they will treat the person who is paying. So, anyone can feel depressed if they are not being treated the way they way to.
