You can never really understand depression until you've been through it. This is very accurate and a wonderfully apt metaphor.
I can relate to the character quite a bit... And I'm not sure what to make of that relation...
--with a feeling of despair that wormed--
I hate how some people think introversion equals depression, which it doesn't, and also how many people don't understand that depression is actually really good at disguising itself and is rarely, if ever, obvious to an outside eye.
Having never experienced depression as deep as this before, I obviously don't, and probably cannot, understand the full extent of this metaphor.
However, I can relate to the feeling of simply building a "cage" around yourself, blocking out the world to an extent. This was my life for a while.
This short story really is a good look into the life of an extreme introvert, and has undoubtedly earned a like and a fav.

Hence why I state both in the description, one is not the other.
Though, in my experience, introversion tends to follow depression like an attached new born.
wut
It was good, but I felt like the transition from isolationist to empty shell was far too rushed for my liking. I would have liked to see more focus on the breaking, and a lot more focus on what it feels like to walk around hollow and despairing. The introversion parts were quite bittersweet and clever. That said, there wasn't enough positivity regarding the attachment to the cage for it to feel whole to me.
Also, it does trigger a pet peeve of mine, which is that it didn't feel like a pony fan fiction, but rather a normal story adapted for this site to get an audience. I understand why it's done, and I sympathize fully with the difficulty in reaching people outside of this website (which is why it's a pet peeve and not a criticism), but it does get on my nerves.

The actual story behind this story is that my therapist wanted me to write about what it feels like, since I told her I write pony fan fiction.
This was the result, and it's been about three or four months since I wrote it. I wasn't comfortable with it at first, but looking at my other stories, predominately Broken Knowledge and Author of Reality (They're both huge self inserts, don't read them.) I realized I've pretty much done it already anyway.
So yea, it's rushed, as you said. I never intended this going up, but I figured I'd post it anyway.
So there ya go, the back ground info.
I feel like this is somehow related... somewhat...

Indeed so... sadly so...
I think I'm on my way to there. I've generally become kind of unfeeling, though I do become happy when I find something humorous.
Like pudding.

3414166 ah.
Well, it seems to have found an audience, regardless.
You just cannot stop writing can you?
Nice story. A bit short, but I do not think that it requires any more words. If this means what I think it does, of which I am not sure, then this did help me understand some people I know better, even if only by a bit. Thank you, and feel better soon.
*Too.
For the story: wut?
Just joking. It was decent.
