I think I just have a stereotypical image in my head of “depression = alone eating very sad meals and in a dark room on the internet all the time, very lonely lives…”

    Depression is a clinical chemical state; people respond to it in many different ways; some respond by chasing dopamine highs.

    Many socially active people are actually depressed, and the activity is their way of attempting to deal with it.

    Many introverted people aren’t depressed at all, and enjoy their own company more than that of others.
