Speaking for myself personally, I prefer people who occasionally misstep a joke, but are willing to do the pitch black humor about me, to me, with regards to depressive/dark times and stuff. It helps more than it seems, because it takes me out of myself and lets me laugh and re-encode those memories with something else, instead of just me looping and amplifying the negative.
But almost everyone just..never talks about those dark periods.
