LinkI don't care how fake someones depression is. I DO NOT CARE.
that gives you no right to treat someone horribly. This whole concept of "oh your depression is fake so I hate you" Is horrible.
Yes, faking depression is wrong.
But it is wrong to become a bullying frenzy because of it, excpecially when all of your proof that it is fake is purely intuition.
CandyXD could actually have depression, and if she did, you just made it 10x worse.
This type of behavior is why people who actually have depression fear opening up. This type of attitude towards it is destructive and downright appaling. Perhaps instead of being jerks about it we should wonder why?
What brings someone to the point where they will do anything for attention?
I've known people who cut for attention ect.
And you know what? People aren't automatically horrible for lying for attention. Human beings thrive best when in some sort of social connection with others. Most who lie are desparate for some sort of connection.
It is no matter, the fact

Linkthat you all have decided it is okay to bully this person, even going so far as creating merch against her pains me. Now I can see where you are coming from, I can't say I haven't acted similarly in the past. But no one deserves to be hated over something like this.

LinkI'm sorry.i know I'm rude about this stuff,but when people do this I act out because I get off. We all want attention,and when someone gets it for doing wrong,everyone else gets mad and wants attention to.but she also sent others to pick fights.shes not in the right,but niether am i.if I try to make it up,will that make it better?

LinkWhen I was actually depressed,i didn't advertise on flipanim.i kept to myself,and eventualy went to therapy.however,when people,more specifically younger people advertise it,it shows that they want attention to make them feel better,when there are other ways.ive tries killing myself before,but i didn't tell everyone. I shouldn't be telling anyone now,but i need to prove a point

Link12 years old is around the age depression begins to develop, and while I've met attention seekers, I've also met people with real depression. I've found even the attention seekers see it as a real vent, while they thrive on the attention they do truely do this as a way to escape pain. They want community. Perhaps instead of hating them, we should try and understand? Try and influence them for the better, teach them there are better ways.

LinkSo you try once and give up. You know what the people of success stories say? Try, try again. Bullying won't create change. The greatest protests and most successful ones were nonviolent, logical, analytical.
Pom, you spoke the truth holy, these people are taking the "she's faking depression and faking cutting + leaving so let's all harass her and even make merch!1 xD" too far! Even harassing her on her recent anim with rants and everything on her. Bullying her is not acceptable and not tolerated instead just tell her mistakes and just forgive her on it and move on.
You described it so well for me, truly the merch thing was th one that just ticked me off the most.
I'm staying out on this, but I hope everyone can apologize for their actions and just flat out apologize and move on, I hope this storm will pass.
I haven't even said anything to Candy but originally I was like 'yeah, stop faking your depression' but this changed my mind. Your arguments are always so well thought out and moving. I'm a stubborn one to sway XD
Logic is definitely the only thing that can sway my opinion, I prefer to look at facts first in
I agree. Although I find my tendencies to look at facts have made me rather void of emotion.
Depending on the situation I may stay clinical, or I'll show empathy. It depends on what the situation requires.
I still can't figure out myself- I am empathic but a lot colder than your average human being. My lack of emotion perplexes me. I've realized I'm usually in a state of emotionlessness, and rarely happy or sad. Never angry, jealous, ect.
I often find myself in the emotions listed above for little to no reason, I doubt that's normal but I can easily control my emotions, like I can push them aside and become devoid of emotion in situations where I need to be clinical, or in situations where they get in the way and hinder my ability to think or complete a task.
I'm similar, although in a mildly concerning way, because they won't come back :(
I'm just empty all the time or happy
which is nice. I have a few friends who can make me happy, and the rest of the time it's just eh
My most popular emotion lately seemed to be a feeling of anxiety, probably caused by the stress of school, I'm not saying I have bad anxiety, it's just residual and I know I'll be alright, I'm not going to rant about my miniscule anxiety to all of FA lol.
I've had patches of minor anxiety here and there and turned out alright so I think I'm fine.
oof i was kinda mean to her. i'll stop it now. Your very convincing Pomegranate. No one really deserves that hate. I still think that fakeing depression is bad, but i see your point.
Aw darn now I feel kinda bad for making that rant on her,, even if it didn’t bully her(??)
The amount of psychological and deep thinking that goes on in a drawing website...
