Are you depressed? Do you know anyone NOT depressed?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 142 points – 3 months ago

I've known since I was a kid that I'm depressed. I even have infant photos of me, where I look like I just hate life. Other baby photos the baby is smiling, and interested in everything. Whereas I look like even though I'm too young to even have thoughts, I'm still giving off body language of "leave me alone".

But when I started asking everyone I knew if they too were depressed, I haven't gotten one single person to say that they're happy. Everyone has said they're depressed. So now I wonder if it's a regional thing, or if everyone everywhere is depressed.

I don’t trust anyone who isn’t depressed right now

Reminds me of these mgmt lyrics:

if you're conscious you must be depressed
or at least cynical

lolwat?

bruhh... this would only make sense if you ID a specific group. Any point of time everything is happening on planet earth. some people sleeping, some working, some fucking... some having mental break downs while somebody else is married..

however, if you are a modern wage slave paying bills, you are likely not feeling too strong right now and depending on how worn our you are, you might also be depressed.
