Alright, I have this guy friend. When we talk, there are two ways that the conversation goes, usually.
1. We have great, deep conversations where we are very honest with each other, and tell each other things that not many people know. During these talks, we'll talk for hours, send each other Youtube links, and both keep the conversation going effortlessly.
Sometimes, when there's nothing to talk about, we've even made up little games to play through messages.
2. He'll be aloof, and it takes a lot of effort to even start a conversation. He won't make any effort at all, and is meaner than usual (we have this joke-y mean thing that we do with each other, but at these times, it's hard to tell if he's joking.) It's during these conversations that we have really big arguments, where he'll say something, I'll misunderstand it, and he'll reply with something sarcastic, and it escalates.
He has been diagnosed with Chronic Depression (one of those things he's told me that not many people know) and I know that one of our big arguments happened at a time when he specifically mentioned to me that his depression was "acting up", so I'm wondering, do you think there's a correspondence. Like, would that make sense?
