        Yeah, it’s the tweeter’s surprised tone that I find relevant, not the roommates. The tweeter knows she’s depressed, the roommate knows it, but (I suspect) if the roommate had inquired about mental health due to lack of singing, the tweeter would not have been so surprised that her roommate was relieved she was singing.

            Well yeah, but if there’d already been conversations about it, it would be less surprising that the roommate was excited to see a sign it was gone

              Speaking as someone with depression, we don’t typically assume an exclamation of pleasant surprise is pointed at us.

                Speaking as someone with depression, when my roommate sees me cleaning and gets happy, I know why.

                  It’s lovely that your experiences are apparently the universal standard and everyone else in the world is just a malfunctioning exception to the rule. It’s good to finally know the Individual the simulation was created for.

                    I literally responded the same way you did. I still read the tweet as someone with a roommate who doesn’t know how to help them, you clearly don’t. That’s fine.
