Can I lie about not being depressed?
What are your reasons for lying about depression?
Reasons? Because I'm a depressed person and I don't want people to even feel sympathy about me.
I don't think it's wise to lie about your mental state. If you are feeling depressed then you should be honest about it when someone asks.
There is no way for me to avoid being a depressed person you know.
You don't need to act strong by lying about how you feel. Be honest and open with the people who care about you, they won't judge you for your emotions. You'll feel better getting it off your chest as well.
