Usually middle schoolers would do this for attention by faking mental illnesses. Always post on their Snapchat story DHMU, only the real ones would know, always uses the 💔😕 emojis also uses Simpson edits to show their “depression” And denies when confronted about it. And don’t forget this one, they always like to date people then break up with them then post a heartbroken emoji on their story.
Every middle schooler on their story,”Don’t hit me up I need time to think, only the real ones would know.” A.K.A Fake Depression

When someone pretends they have depression for attention. They could post things like Bart Simpson crying with a caption saying “pls someone fucking kill me :(“ . A very common way to tell someone is faking it is if they always talk about having “mental breakdowns” or “crying fits” wherever they go. These people are disgusting attention whores so if you come across one just ignore them so they don’t get what they want.

Beth: fucking attention whore
Eloise: what?
Beth: you have such bad fake depression
Eloise: no I dont *pretending to cry*
Beth: oh fuck off

Fake Depression is usually common amongst quirky edgy teenagers, primarily girls, who post sad VHS edits of Bart Simpson, or anything related, on their Instagram/Snapchat stories with the caption "pls no one talk to me" or "pls someone just end me" or even "wow this is so me" for attention. While also hurting people who are actually Depressed by making them feel even more bad about themselves and having a harder time to cope with their mental disorder. Fake Depressed teens usually act like this because their parents didn't buy them that new Iphone or they immediately broke up with their new boyfriend/girlfriend after being together for a day, and they think their life is hard.

Jake: Aaahh I see, well then fuck that dumbass.

Someone, usually a teenager that usually acts as they have a mental condition, because they think it's cool. You usually can tell when it's fake, if they don't tend to get in their feelings, don't cry or even act sad when they are around you . when they aren't around you, you can tell, because they show it off on their story and they tend to post quotes a lot. Most people that are actually depressed will not post much about their mental symptom called depression.

Someone who claims to have depression but normally has intentions to gain attention and fish for compliments and pity. They act sad and try and look depressed and complain obsessively about how they have it. They also will not accept help because deep down they know that its fake and they want all the attention. These people will also say that they have no friends even if they have many. They also use other people as therapists and never consider other people because they're "too sad" to give a sh*t. I kinda pity people who do this because they dont realise how people with depression really feel therefore mimick them.
"hey you look kinda sad are you okay?"
"I'm just really sad because of my depression and i wanna die!"
"What can I do to help?"
"Oh its my (fake depression) you can't do anything about it now im gonna cry and be an emo!"
