to add in a small specific detail in order to make your lie seem more convincing
Jim: "So he broke into her apartment, jumped her, tied her up, and kidnapped her. Oh, he also stole a pet snake."
Tim: "Hm, this story must be completely credible because a random, unnecessary detail was added in. Wait a second... he must've been faking the snake!"

Fake depression is when somebody falsely exhibits symptoms of depression for the sake of getting attention/pity/compliments. Of course, it is also being theorized that actual depression is an unconscious evolutionarily-ingrained attempt to bargain with/manipulate the environment. For some people who 'have' fake depression, it is because they just need attention and caring from those around them. This in and of itself does not mean there is not a problem. In that case, even if they do not need treatment for depression, they still need either support/caring or need to solve the problem of being needy, as fitting the situation.

Some who suffer from depression fear that they are faking it and only being trouble, and thus shouldn't be helped.

In todays 'society', there are self-proclaimed emo people who may fake depression for the sake of it being <i>cool</i>. Those who mimic illness because they think it will make them seem fashionable recieve only contempt and disgust from many people who are trying to recover from depression due to it being viewed as a mockery and making depression much less accepted as a real danger by many people.

In conclusion, although fake depression may not be genuine, it still can signify other problems that need to be identified.
I only have fake depression, all I do is manipulate others, who STILL wont admit that they need to leave me behind for their own good.

Person 1: Have you heard of the anime lain?
Person 2: Yeah! I watched it and its a 9/10!
Person 1: What the fuck? Lain is dogshit! What did you like so much about it?
Person 2: Well... I-I- saw it on tik-tok and uhh-uhh.... well I liked the uhh... THE ATMOSPHERE!
Person 1: What? Why are you fake jacking it? Fucking fake jacker! How can you not name 1 thing you like from a 9/10 series?!

This person is a fake jacker because they saw how popular Lain was on tiktok and followed the hype and said it was good, when in fact they didnt' really like nor understand the show and are only liking it for the approval of others.
