RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Did you say any of this to them?

Not OP, but as someone also struggling with depression, no I wouldn't think that being treated like this would make me want to confront these people at all as much as the OP describes, just never show my face around them again. Depression makes you want to give up, not be fucking assertive. Criminy.

No, I've also struggled with depression, I completely understand why you wouldn't say anything. I was only wondering if they did, not trying to judge them. My sincere apologies if that tone came off.
