Do you think people who change thier avatar all the time are manic depressive ?

It's like changing your clothes or your hair.  Most people do that all the time.

I think my Yahoo Avatar looks eerily similar to me, especially the hair.  But then again I'm Asian and we all look the same anyway.  Must have been easy to convert that into illustrated form.

its something we wont ever understand. its like they look in the mirror and see something else looking back at them thats not what the rest of the world sees.  "distorted self image"  They have to have intensive therapy to get past it and I think for the most part they are never over it completely.  People are always the hardest on themselves

unfortunately there is nothing that is perfect\nno matter what you try to change you will eventually find fault with it\nbetter to be happy with what you are than what you think you want to be\nlife is too short to waste it on trivial insecurities\nthe woman had a face transplant because she was mauled by a dog and lost half her face- not due to vanity

If you look like you avatar, then yes...\n\nBut I dont like you for just your looks alone\n\nYou have such a strong personality, and enduring spirit, a free spirit if you will

yea alot of people have ...i have been suffering from depression for quite a few years now and i have felt like that about everyone in my life ..through 2 pregnancies and a whole lot of depression... i honestly believe it is because you figure (as i do) if you don't love yourself how can anyone else love you ...its gonna be hard but for the most part and to help you get over feeling this way you HAVE to i repeat HAVE to learn to love yourself

With so many choices to make your avatar look good, why do you still have a problem???

Yes I believe this is true.  Once you find your purpose you realize that you can't go back and change things because that changes who you are which could make you come to a completely different conclusion about your purpose.  You must simply accept your lot in life and go on with it and keep growing.  If you go back to fix things you shrink again.

It is up to you if you change your Avatar or not!  If you don't like it then change it.  It only matters what you think, not everyone else.  Besides everyone has their own opinion...some will tell you to change it because they don't like it and others will say it looks fine. The only thing that really matters is what you think!!\n\nHope this helps!!

I am sure that they will "be funny" again.  Your personality sticks...the depression might alter it a little but they will spring back to normal.  Support them, be there for them.  If this person you are talking about is you, confide in a friend.  It's okay to cry and be depressed for a while.  It might be almost embarrassing to let that vulnerable side show since you/they were always the "funny and happy" one.  Trust me, you will seem even more real and likable when people see your human and have bad days...even if these days last for awhile.  Also, no one is too good to seek professional advice.  I'm not saying run out there and get put on medication, but you might need an extra boost to get back and going..whether it's just medical advice or whatever.  Good Luck.

I used to get that a lot. They'd always make fun of something. Sad thing was they were things I had no control over. Chest size, buck teeth, then braces, my speech inpediment, anything really. I just accepted that I wasn't that great looking and anyone who didn't accept me like that wasn't my friend. Just be yourself. Even if it's stuff you can change. Only change if you want to change... never ever change for any other reason. You have to be comfortable with who you are and love yourself. Hopefully soon, others will come to accept you are who you are.

Yes I have.I was to several of them actually.And also to psychotherapists.I act all the time as if it's only me feeling the room no matter if I am speaking to my parents,friends whatever.I somehow seem unable to make people,events,thoghts,experiences change me.I am a narcissic.I undergo therapy:psychanalyse backed up by meds.I had 4 different med periods over the last four years.I cannot have excahnges with the outside world. Now I have abandoned any activity and stay at home .I see no hope for a better mind for me

u never know.. some one might take your face and morph it to a different guy (i think u know what i mean).. some of them might be having some fantasies of being another character or having different faces, they can fulfill it by having some cartoons also..\n\nso it is kind of being secure and as well as fulfilling their fantasies..

I thought I slept OK until I saw your new avatar.  I think I might go to bed and wake up again and realise that that image of you was just a bad dream.\n\nI miss the old image. I find this one very disturbing which may of course be your intention.
