7) You are both learning something new together
It is not uncommon for people who are experiencing depression or anguish to feel an intense connection to someone they just met.
This is why many people who are experiencing depression often seek out others who are experiencing what they are going through.
The experience of being with someone going through a similar or identical experience can be very relieving and healing for their emotional burdens.
When the person you are attracted to responds in an empathetic way, they can often make you feel better and more comfortable around them.
