The trick is to be positive about yourself and the people you can trust, but slightly negative about the world at large.

Unfortunately the one of the tricks of severe depression is to make you feel like that circle of people you can trust is ever-shrinking.
Sometimes, unfortunately, it also is true.
The issue with all of these is that if something is a problem, it’s probably because it’s maladaptive to the actual circumstances someone is in.
And for the same reason ‘no one can tell if you’re a dog’ online, no one can tell if what you’re feeling is actually useful/adaptive or not, especially if the common root to many of the actual disorders is various degrees of bias/delusion
