    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.

      They just wanted to know why they said “thank goodness” lol. It doesn’t speak for itself

        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.

                  Hmm, yes, but I’m not the one taking my personal experiences and using that to form an opinion about what’s going on in someone else’s head and creating an entire narrative about what interactions these roommates may or may not have had. You’re the one asserting that someone doesn’t care about another person here. When you consider you have nothing but anecdotal evidence to back up your assertion, the point of your argument is…?

                    That’s literally all people do unless there’s hard evidence. So yes, you are doing that.

                    But no argument on my side. I still interpret it the way I do, but I don’t care if you agree, and frankly you’re really aggressive.

                    Have a good one, I’m going to stop having this conversation
