Deflated's Perspective

Deflated is often confused with sadness. While both emotions reflect a decrease in positive feelings, sadness may arise from a specific loss or grief, whereas deflated often reflects a broader sense of diminished self-worth and motivation without a singular identifiable cause.

Sadness's Perspective

Sadness is often compared to depression, though they are distinct. While sadness is a temporary emotional state typically triggered by specific events, depression is a more pervasive and persistent mood disorder that can affect daily functioning and may not always have a clear cause. Both involve feelings of unhappiness, but sadness tends to be more situational and adaptable, whereas depression may require more extensive intervention.
