People have different views and opinions on depression. Some would prefer "to go to a better place".

That would be a hard question to give a direct answer to. I know when I was experiencing depression I felt stuck and didn't really want to do anything to get out of it. While that doesn't mean I didn't want to get out of it, I kinda felt like it was pointless. I'm sure there are people that find depression comfortable like I do, and to them, I hope everything gets brighter soon.

Not necessarily - some people dont find the strength to live anymore and at some point, when all their hope is lost, they start to accept that it's not going to get better - that doesn't mean that they don't want to be healthy and happy, but they are just not motivated to try anymore. However, in most cases a therapy and medication will help and there is always a chance that it's going to get better.

Not always, some persons value the depression because one can spend more time with theirselves, so it's a inner develope... the thing is, the time is passing and you must be happy because the life is short.

In my experience, yes. Many though reach a point where they don't care anymore, and everything has become pointless and they think things will never get better. This could result in a dangerous downslide and suicidal ideations.

Sometimes they try look up for a help, but not even they want, and when they come to you asking your help, then try help, because depression is something too bad is almost a sick.

In my experience, depression often depends on the individual, his/her current life situation, and what feels "right" at the time, which may not always be "getting better". Sometimes, people may want to let themselves feel their emotions in order to understand the pain they are going through.

When you're depressed it can feel like you're shielded from the world in a cold blanket. While it is terrifying to feel the numbness extend from the depths of your emotions to your body you somehow feel safe. People can insist that they are fine, even though their mind's a cesspool of negativity, self-hatred and pity.

no sometimes they don't even know that they are hurting themselves and sometimes they just get so use to it that it becomes a habit

No. In fact, a lot of people suffering from depression don't want any help or for things to get better. Sometimes, the worse you feel, the worse you want to feel.
