Whelp, make me feel good people

Yeah... you don't really know how depression works do you. Depressed people only act depressed when they are alone or without interaction. They do not deliberately avoid interaction or other people because the paranoia and emotions fade into the background. I meet as much people as any other person, but when trying to sleep or when left to their own thoughts, that can be where things go wrong. Depression is an unpleasant thought process, not the origin story of a stock character in a Shyamalan film.

Kettle black.

I believe that you are the one lacking knowledge, or stated another way, you can only speak to how depression effects you and your symptoms. The fact that you believe that "people only act depressed when they are alone or without interaction" only indicates how little you know about depression.

This.  Whenever I get into my post-manic states, I loathe being around people and doing things because I simply don't want to deal.  I'd rather sleep, or generally be alone.
