Style got me so fucked up. I literally screamed at seeing Stan and Kyle walking up to the bus stop and talking about movies, you know normal things, together. Meanwhile the other half of the main four did thing their own dumb scheme and keeping secrets.

And just that little style moment was so precious?! 😭

Remember in Assburgers Kyle said that hanging out with Stan was starting to make him feel depressed?

And people thought he was being selfish or uncaring but really, have you seen Kyle when he is low?

This was a great response – I just wanted to comment that while you make a great point about situational depression and a neurological disorder, which I agree with whole heartedly, I didn’t mean for the post to come across like I was comparing the two, it was more to say that, regardless of his age, Kyle reacts to things in a very unhealthy way and suggested that it may not have been very good for him to be there for Stan when Stan was trying to drag him down with him (in fact I would go as far as to suggest that Kyle’s impulsive behaviour and intense emotions are characteristics of other neurological disorders that are not depression – and you can definitely see how he may also have inherited this also).

I really really felt for Stan in this story arc and I would not have defended Kyle if Stan had just asked Kyle to be there for him while he went through this and Kyle turned away. But that’s not how it went. Stan was trying to bring Kyle down with him and to convince him to see he world in the same way that he did. And I don’t blame Stan for that either because when you feel that way you may see comfort in other people who feel the same because you’re not alone. But it’s still not good for the other person.
I feel that a lot of people on here who talk about people with depression act as though other people are obliged to tend to their every need and while I encourage support if you yourself are mentally sound, if you are clearly not in a healthy frame of mind and being supportive will do you more harm than good you have absolutely no obligation to be there (even more so if that person shouts abuse at you). Finally, Regardless of the cause of the depression, it’s still a serious matter and should be taken into account if it is dangerous for that person.

This post isn’t about who has it worse, it’s about how differently they react to certain situations. And how people assume that Kyle is in a healthy state of mind and should be unconditionally supportive.

YES TO THIS!!!!

I’ve been in a situation where I knew a person once who seemed to have depression. Granted, I don’t think they had an official diagnosis and they are no longer a part of my life, but because of my own experience I could understand the actions of Kyle. That person was super negative and just saw the negativity in everything. It was really draining to be around them and honestly, I felt it wasn’t good for me either mentally and emotionally, because I am definitley not healthy in that department. (I have anxiety and trauma disorders).

So, while I would have loved Kyle to have been more supportive especially since it’s his super best friend we’re talking about, I understand why he decided to try and move on. I pretty much said the same thing in this post.

Anyways, this makes me interested in what nuerological disorder Kyle may have?
