Quote: "It doesn’t make any sense to me." It's perfectly obvious why such a person would be depressed. They're the opposite of self-contained and self-reliant -- for a sense of personal satisfaction, they're completely dependent on the approval of others. Without the approval of others, their sense of themselves evaporates and they lapse into an existential panic. Marilyn Monroe had exactly the same problem. One day she looked in the mirror and realized her beauty was fading. Her beauty wasn't a single aspect of a complete person, it was who she was. Her beauty died, so she died.
