This must be some sort of phenomenon or something because I feel the same way too. I guess it has to do with society's view of mental illness. If we're flawed in any way, we feel like freaks. And ever since I've been learning to be more assertive, I feel annoying as h*ll. But other people have personality flaws and we're not as hard on them. I think people with depression just have a hard time believing their opinion is as important as anyone else's. But why should we feel that way? Other people don't care that much. They just do and say what they want. But this is part of who we are and is a key part of our personality. It helps us be more compassionate and sensitive to others. At least, that's what I like to believe.
As for how to answer your T, I would have a hard time with that too. I mean, I can't fake my personality. But I agree with the others that he was trying to show you you're not as annoying as you think. You have the right to an opinion too!
