Is it normal when people call you depressed but you're really not?

83% Normal
6 Comments

I am having this phase where I have a monotone tone and people have been seriously concerned about me. It's not like I am suicidal, but I seem to wander off to space thinking what I do now. It's like a very calm and dry behavior. I am more sarcastic and a more upset tone. I used to be a very happy person, but then one day I just stopped.

    Not too esay to be happy all the time in this world. If people really opened their eyes...they'd be pretty depressed

    People think I'm depressed too. I've even seen a psych who said I could have depression. I'm not depressed, just not exstatic about everything, nothing wrong with it I say.

    You sound more realistic than anything. To the naive, this looks deceivingly like depression.

    I'm not depressed, I get told I am though. Just because someone isn't happy, doesn't make them sad.

    Normal- different phases of life. I used to be wide eyed and i didnt have a cynical bone in my body. Could just be psychic aging. blasé isnt depressed. Maybe you feel like pursuing a new endeavor in your life ?

    Sounds like they're still getting used to it.
