Super true.

A bunch of my friends used to live together and make fun/comment on odd behavior that one person used to exhibit. When described to me it screamed depression, but my friends weren't aware enough to make the same inference.

As a result I've had multiple mental health convos with female friends but none with male friends 😂

What seemed to work whether 1 on 1 or in a big group setting was opening up to people about my mental health journey and how serious it got! I also gave them certain Instagram accounts that I follow where more qualified people break down things. And it seems like over time they realized they experienced these things but just suppressed them because that’s what they were taught. Ultimately, someone who takes mental health as a joke after multiple attempts to explain just isn’t meant to be your friend
