I feel like passing off my depressed friend.
Why would you further aggravate someone who is already upset?
I don't care about him or his problems
I know having depressed friends can give off second hand stress, but your friend needs you the most in these trying times. I'm sure they appreciate your company very much even though it's hard to show it.
I doubt it will help and most importantly won't be any different from making things better for him.
Trying to make your friend feel worse is not the better option. If it's too stressful for you to handle, how about suggesting him into finding a therapist or counselor to help him?
