@Coconut if you are dealing with extreme depression (like I originally once was) any small amount of hope you get you cling onto it and if it's smth like love and the person keeps leading you on then you confess your depression might worsen to the point that seeing that person might make it worse or you lose the feeling of that emotion (when I had depression I couldn't explain anything because I was accused of smth I didn't do by my best friend, even now anytime I want to explain the truth or anything al all my whole body freezes and I can't say anything unless the situation is about smth funny)
