Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.
No support questions. See !techsupport@lemmy.world

"Wow you are smiling today! You never smile!"

"I know right! He always looks like he wants to kill himself!"

I have depression and I don't like being a gloomy fuck and I'm trying but goddamn if people saying shit like this doesnt make me want to stay home or go ahead and off myself jesus fucking christ. Are they oblivious or are they making fun of me to my face I don't know.

Not OP, but as someone also struggling with depression, no I wouldn't think that being treated like this would make me want to confront these people at all as much as the OP describes, just never show my face around them again. Depression makes you want to give up, not be fucking assertive. Criminy.

No, I've also struggled with depression, I completely understand why you wouldn't say anything. I was only wondering if they did, not trying to judge them. My sincere apologies if that tone came off.
