Many remarkable people deal with depression and anxiety all the time because they see the world differently than average people do. Their own failures and perceived failures are magnified. When others say, “Don’t worry about it,” they can’t understand why someone would think something like that. For this reason, a lot of geniuses throughout history have been chronically depressed.
I don’t know about ‘depressed’, but I’m frequently dismayed at the low expectations of those around me. Big thoughts, people!

This is way too familiar. Almost to the extent that it’s uncomfortable to reblog it.
