This is called sympathy game.
It can work on occasion but it's not a long-term solution nor is it personally healthy for YOU as a man.
True. I guess I am tempted to fall into this frame because sadness is addicting and hard to let go of. I am not this way at work or around my family. I try to be strong and happy for them.
That's a dangerous game because as you just mentioned it gets harder and harder to get out of it.
Please don't rely on this as your baseline game.
Will not.
Why would you retort "Will not"? How old are you (seriously)?
If you ask other forum members for advice, I would suggest that you refrain from being defensive when they take the time to address your problem earnestly.
It's good to work with your natural vibe, and if you mean that you're coming off as a artistic Jim Morrison type, fine, go for it.
Instead of romanticizing depression, seek ways to turn that around for the sake of your own life. It will be far more productive than to rationalize it as a crutch for "game" or anything else.
You can also totally be an artist or mysterious guy WITHOUT being depressed.
