How should I interact with someone who is always cheerful and energetic but often wants to talk about their experience with depression and other painful experiences from the past?
This content is machine-translated.
I’m not good with heavy conversations, so I usually just brush them off lightly, but lately those kinds of topics have been coming up more often. I’m wondering if I should listen a little more.

Based on my experience with my ex-wife, who suffered from severe depression, I think it’s better not to pry too deeply into what’s going on beneath the surface.

People often come to me for advice too, and I always make sure to listen seriously.
That said, I also need to be careful not to get dragged down by their negative emotions!
Still… I hope you can enjoy yourself when you’re with your papa (a male supporter).

Maybe it feels comfortable because you can just listen without taking it too seriously.
If you’re happy with the relationship as it is, I think it’s best to keep casually brushing things off. If you don’t want him to get too attached and delve too deeply into your life, gradually fade out instead.
I’m not good with emotionally unstable people, so I keep my distance—and those kinds of people don’t approach me either. I guess they can somehow sense it.

Always being bright and energetic—could that actually be a manic episode of bipolar disorder?
If you handle things poorly, they could suddenly crash and possibly take their own life, so it’s best to leave someone like that to a medical professional.
You don’t want the police showing up because they left a suicide note.
And whatever you do, don’t tell them to “try their best.”

I’d see it as a great chance to become much closer. I’d be happy to listen as much as you want—I prefer keeping a small, select circle and building long-term relationships.
It also depends on your approach to dating. If you’re looking for something casual, you might be better off with someone else. It really depends on what you want.
