Isn’t insensitiveness better than the constant trouble which comes from remaining open to others?
There can be no transformation of the being in an insensitive consciousness. 
The depression is not the only cause of suspension of experiences. There are others such as inertia etc. If one can have experiences continuously in spite of these things, that means that a part of the consciousness has definitely separated from the rest and is able to go on in spite of the outer resistance.
