I wonder if it has to do with the difference between expectation and reality. If you expect your life to be like that of an attractive and successful character

I wonder if it has to do with the difference between expectation and reality.
If you expect your life to be like that of an attractive and successful character on a TV show or movie, or a celebrity, then chances are you'll be disappointed and possibly depressed. Technically, nothing in your life is "causing it" other than unrealistic expectations.
- taylorlunt 10y agoThis is definitely not my experience. I would say that, other than my depression, I am very satisfied with my life. My life isn't perfect, but I'm happy with it. I have no self-esteem issues either. It might seem unusual to hear someone with depression say they are, depression aside, satisfied with their life, but sometimes depression just doesn't have a clear cause. I wonder if depression is more biological for some people.
