One of the most important matters which #Depression forcefully taught me, is that we humans are social beings. We *need* to work in a community, we *need* to love and be loved. We *need* friends, family and mates.

And that social interactions are better be in person and physical. Social interactions through the network are good, too. Thanks to the Internet, we can collaborate on projects and befriend people while being very distant.

But social interactions through Internet can never ever replace in person social interactions.

If you are a computer geek like me and you are freelancer or you work remotely, Do find a coworking place and do NOT work from home alone. Perhaps you don't suffer from depression like me so working from home doesn't affect your mental health that much. But it still has its negative effect.

I used to attend a university for a diploma in computer engineering. After a few semesters, I decided to stop studying there. I needed to withdraw. However, what they call "student peers"—I am not sure what the term is in English—were being reductionist and maximalist regarding the official documents, stating that I had already agreed to and chosen the university and the study program in the online application form. This is not fair. I believe it is important to treat each person as an individual, as a whole person, rather than merely considering what I have done to prevent me from leaving. I wasn't there to fulfill their collectivist culture, believing I should prioritize the university's name and dignity at the cost of my own. At the moment, I want to take a break from writing this, as my mind is troubled by thoughts of my past, including the emotional abuse I experienced from the university staff. Unfair, right?
