It really gets to me when people pretend to be depressed for pity and attention

What do you mean you ‘ think depressed people don’t want friends ‘ If you are making a point about something at least be sure about your facts. And you never know maybe they do want friends and they are sitting alone behind a computer because the don’t want to see people physically but feel more comfortable talking to people over the computer. You never know. sorry for possibly annoying you

tbh talking to people irl is very nerve wrecking for someone who has anxiety, so these "depressed people" would prefer to talk through a computer because all you're doing is typing and not making eye contact n all that stuff -possibly made no sense but i tried

You know, I thought- after all of our arguing- that I could trust you. I was wrong. You can´t just insult people and use facts that you practically made up to tear them down. You are accusing people of faking depression when you clearly don´t know anything about depression!

What the other people said, depressed people can, but don't always, seclude themselves from social contact, but it is in no way required to be depressed. A lot of depressed people can also have anxiety about talking to people in real life, because they're scared to mess up or if they have that excessive guilt that a lot of depressed people have. Online they have much less anxiety because of the anonymity the internet provides them and how impersonal it can be. But ok I guess I'm not Real Depressed even though I have many of the symptoms because i have friends.
