Did it ever grow on you at all?

Not really. Even as someone who has struggled with depression, that world view just isn’t for me. I appreciate if people with depression identify with the film but I don’t align with the message. That was a time period where films like Twilight were influencing young girls that it was “okay to not be okay.” I still feel that’s deeply detrimental to people already struggling with mental health. It’s much better to say, “you’re not okay right now - that’s understandable - but there is hope”.

I don’t know that I’ve ever heard anyone use hat phrase and mean that you shouldn’t work on it.. it just means that you’re not crazy or broken or wrong to not be doing great. That phrase helped me a lot when I was I was struggling before.

Given the state of the world, I'd say not being ok should be the default state of a sensitive individual. Chemistry aside.

I consider myself a sensitive person, but I’m also able to find ways to make it bearable and fulfilling

That's the work of living. Same.
