So where does the instinct to get pissed off at depressed/nihilist/defeatists, come from. I understand in immediate situations with family or friends who you can't get through to, but why with strangers?

There's so many of you guys in this thread, but like has insulting and yelling at a depressed person ever worked in your experience?
Did someone, especially a stranger, being a rude asshole to you help you out of a bad place once?
And what does it matter to you if some no-count stranger is stuck in a bad place? You already believe in something that makes your life worth living, and it would be understandable if you wanted to compassionately pass it on to someone, but not so much if you want to yell at them for not already sharing it.

So like legitimately, what's the angle?
