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.

used for gaining the attention and attraction of anyone when sad, basically. Used most frequently during teen years.

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!"

A person who has fake depression would show these types of signs, seeks attention, complains about life when it's perfect, listens to sad emo rappers, posts black and white stories with the caption "I hate my life" or "I can't do this anymore". These are some the most popular signs. Often seen in teenagers who can't handle being alone.
