Is it normal if people make me depressed?

I'm a really observant person and stay quiet. They say the more you're quiet, the more you know. Couldn't be any more true. I just look at social media and everyone is f*cken fake. And I'm not talking about the "selfies" or their useless accounts, but what REALLY urks me are those inspirational memes. From the fake comments to the person who post it, you can't be any more superficial and fake about that statement. People act like they're such good people and when you see them in person, they're nothing like that or nothing like what the "quote" stood for. IF you ever talk about those things in person, people will look at you like you're silly, a noob, and just look down on you when in social media, people will give you "likes" and lift you for posting such a "wonderful" message. *pukes* It is the worst form of hypocrisy. Like please just kill yourselves and stop pretending like you are so innocent and such a nice person because you are not. Or maybe they are good people but its more like people are scared to show their individuality in person because they think people will make fun of their kindness or innocence so they have to act all tough and shit. Social media is fun but when it comes to being real in person, it's just inconsistent and a sign of brainwash. So when these things hit me, I just get so depressed and feel alone in this world like no one out there is real, no one.

    You're probably perceived as fake as well, you know what saddens me is that everyone today questions the sincerity of others. If I want to post pictures of puppies, or sappy quotes that resonate with me, or post a picture of myself that I feel good in, I will. I don't care whether or not that makes me fake, I rarely make posts but the times I do it isn't in an attempt to blow smoke up people's asses.

      I really like you. I've been reading your comments all summer and I think you're a good person. I wish I had more friends in real life who are like you.

    People will show always the good side of them, the internet is ruthless and facebook is basically put yourself out there, i dont even use it anymore, is the new messenger for me. (only to talk with real friends to hook up and such)

    What is not normal, is you caring sooo much about other people issues.

      I care so much because its humans who I associate with and so I have to deal with their shenanigans. According to psychology, it's necessary to socialize in order to live a healthy life. And as much as I hate it, it's true. I'll try not to socialize but I do start feeling lonely and depressed eventually. So when its time to socialize, its a downfall when you see how fake they are portraying themselves

    Its normal to not always be real. When first meeting someone people are not fully themselves because they want to be accepted, especially if its someone they like or admire. Also when at work, if youre dealing with customers or boses, many are going to fake happiness and politeness. Its adapting to social expectations. I try to be real all the time, except at work because Id get fired otherwise. There are times though where its easier to just go with the flow and times where it pays to be real. Just be who you are, and forget all the rest. Thats the easiest way to deal with it.

      I wish I can forget the rest but that's not reality. Like I said below, it's necessary to socialize to live healthy and happy and its true. So as much as I'd like to just be me and live in my own world, I can't. Reality is I want to socialize but part of it is to be fake? I don't fit in anywhere then.
      And actually, even on this site, people seem so compassion I wonder...who are these people? Do they even exist? and if they do, is this who they really are but show a tougher exterior in person? Wouldn't be surprised on bit.

        There are some people both on here and in life that are always fake because they arent comfortable with who they are. Others want to seem tough or cool. Then theres asshole and conpassionate people. You never know what someone is truly like till tou give them a chance and take the time to get the real them, not the front they are putting on.

    I feel you. I deleted mine, because it made me judge people based off of their posts, rather than actual real interaction with them. I'd much rather have a number to reach someone. Also, I feel I've been dumbed down by the news feed, because more than half of my generation can not spell.

    I'm not sure people depress me for the same reasons they depress you, but I agree, people in general are depressing. There are a hand few of people in my life that I enjoy being around though, my boyfriend, his family, my family, and a couple close friends but further than that, people in general annoy me. For example, just sitting at home watching tv becomes depressing at times because of all the shitty human beings I see on tv. All the nudity, those accents and hair styles they have in Jersey on shows like jersey shore, all the bullshit reality shows with bullshit people and their bullshit problems, its unbelievably annoying and depressing to know that's the quality of human beings these days. When I go anywhere and see girls dressed like sluts and guys dressed like gays I get the depressed feeling again. Why can't people just be normal for fuck's sake? Is it so difficult to be a geniune, unique, decent person? Jesus christ.
