It goes beyond that. When you get into a certain state, survival instinct kicks in. The abstract washes off your back with ease. The immediate takes top priority.

So as a result, a lot of the people in those shelters and rehabs and even jail will tend to be more positively minded and less woe is me than their depressed suburban counterparts.

I feel like you're making untrue generalizations. Especially since most of my poor suburban friends and family have been through jail, shelters and rehabs and they are depressed as ****.

I mean generalizations by nature have exceptions

But I was speaking on my general experience

When I say suburban it's almost a substitute for middle class btw. I'm not talking about population density. I'm talking about the typical American idea of the suburbs.

Me and my white trash friends aren't middle class and it's safe to say that majority of my friends deal with severe depression.

Looking this up and it actually seems like the exact opposite of what you're saying is true.

Right maybe the generalization was wrong.

I was trying to respond to your comment that it's surprising that I say I've never been around so many depressed mother****ers, but it's true.

At least in that at the shelter and rehab and jail, I didn't meet a chorus of people who went on about how life is hopeless and they wanted to kill themselves etc. So it's not surprising to me. I've met more suicidal people online than in any of these institutions.

There were some head cases in those places everyone knew you had to be careful about. But most of the people there were relatively pleasant.

I don't think people wear it on their sleeves as much as we do. I definitely don't express it as much in person.

Yeah I don’t go around sharing my **** very often irl

I'm sure that's part of it. But I also think when your life is in flames, death feels so close that you suddenly want to live.

Being depressed doesn't mean you're suicidal. Man, you really don't know ****.
