What minor thing that happened to you as a child has stayed with you your whole life?

Sorry if this sounds insensitive, but there was a guy who was friends with one of the girls in our friendship circle and he was severely depressed. The others didn't really like him, and I didn't know why until he started always talking about how depressed he was and comlained constantly about his life. I don't think he intentionally meant to do it, but somehow, it made the rest of us feel akward and somewhat made us feel depressed. Obviously, he wasn't toxic and didn't talk about these things to make us feel bad like threatening to commit suicide if we did something wrong, but I think these types of things drove us away from him. I don't know you in real life, but it could be that you were unintentionally making people feel sad.
