Hey, maybe it's not realistic for every single person in my life to text me or check in on me, but it would be nice for just one person to take five minutes from their day to say hey, how are you? Or something. In my whole life, no one but my parents would check in on me, and by their stands of checking in, it wouldn't be about my depression and emotional support. Maybe I'm just craving it because I've never had it, so I want to feel wanted and cared for. @Zoe7 

I'm a little confused with this. "It is okay to need comfort and support, but it is not okay to expect it from others to make ourselves feel better". 

If it's not okay to expect it from others, then why would anyone ever want comfort from someone else? If we have to rely on ourselves. Isn't it human nature to want comfort from another human?
