"You don't take your depression seriously enough for me" helps me to understand where some people who don't understand (or don't care to understand) depression at all are coming from.
By "guy in the comic" I meant the original comic I posted. The one you posted comes off as mean to me. It's great that "not great" guy isn't doing badly enough that he feels the need to talk about his problems and he even acknowledges that he's considering the other guy's feelings, while the other guy comes off as, "Phew, I was just making small talk and don't actually care how you're doing."
Correct. And many of the comments immediately jump to (probably personal) experiences where a friend or loved one had depression and despite their best efforts to help, they were unable to. That's not what this comic is about.
I wish so many comments on this post didn't support what you're saying. And the guy in the comic isn't even asking for help, just showing that he's suffering.
A lot of these comments are really proving the point of the comic. Nowhere does it say that anybody took his ailment seriously, yet it's the victim who's at fault.
True!
