So does depression result in a person's inability to have compassion and feel less empathetic towards others? My friend is clinically depressed, and I find that talking to them can be very painful in a hurtful way because they don't show that they care, or they would say things that are mean and of aggressive in nature.

Sometimes I feel as if they're trying to pick a fight.
