About This Quote

The depth of love can be calibrated by the number of different selves that are actively involved in a given relationship. This quote is referring to how many different characters one person could potentially have. If you are suffering from depression, it can be hard to even recognize your loved ones because your partner is no longer the same person they were before. As you start suffering from depression, it can be hard to be able to see your loved ones because you are suffering from the same thing that is affecting them. In this quote, the author is saying that when someone is very depressed, they may have a hard time seeing themselves in the mirror because depression changes who you are.
