Maybe it's shame, or not wanting to bring them down, but it feels wrong to talk to them. I've gotten pretty good at bottling the extent of my depression up so I don't inconvenience others, because no one likes a sad sack, but this person knows me too well to get that past them.
Sounds like a bit of a low self esteem issue, but most everyone would deal with that situation the same way given the same scenario. Maybe focus on your accomplishments, whether big or small, and try not to gauge your worth based on someone else's. It's all a matter of your own perception, and not everything you think is true.
