During my first summer back from college I noticed a stark difference in the mood of my friends from the previous summer. They were typically unhappy, unsatisfied, living in the past, One ran away from home, others were now on depression meds, blah blah blah. Even I was feeling these things. So I tried to diagnose the problem.
I ended up dividing up my friends into two groups based on their behaviors, and my perception of them. Eventually I began to conclude that while these two groups were depressed for different reasons they had many things in common. Namely the tendency towards emotional indifference (A left over defense mechanism from grade school) and inner conflict between the expected behaviors of adulthood and the instincts of childhood
