Therein lies the issue. You dont want people to notice, and I think the majority of people dont, but if they actually do it makes things better for everyone.
You're not 'just inexplicably grumpy or aloof,' and others arent 'insensitive jerks,' it helps when people can understand one another.
So your input on this is really helpful.

Like I said earlier, we've made progress socially in talking about it, but the stigma is still attached to depression. Still hard for people to understand that it's a matter of chemicals and not a lack of character. That sadly applies to people suffering with it as well as those seeing people who suffer.
