Being depressed has not much if anything to do with being a goth unless your being bullied about it like. Here is an example for you, my girlfriend broke up with me after eight months. Now which ego of mine would be more depressed? the goth or the average joe? see? its just stuff that happens everyone lol. But then again being looked down upon by the majority of people is enough of a reason to depress some lol. Some mind you haha

Some people get depressed because of things that happen in their lives, but for some people depression is systemic. Genetic. They're born with it and they feel it all their lives (unless it's contained with medication). But in either case, it's got nothing to do with being gothic. Depressed people, whether they were born with it or not, aren't any more likely to become goths than anyone else.

Eeeeeeexactly ^^ I couldn't agree more

I don't think all goths are depressed. I mean everyone has moments in their life where they get really sad or depressed because of events that happened to them or they just feel blah. It's just all about how you feel everyday and take on those feelings. Goths well to me see life as something you have to take and enjoy it while you can for everyday brings something new. I hate to go with the emo stereotype but they seem more depressed then goths.

GAH!

WHY do people keep commenting on this one?!?! *is aware of hypocrisy* It's such a bad thread!!!
We all know we're not clinically depressed, WHAT IS THERE TO DISCUSS?!?!  

[obeyfluffy]

hmm... i guess it would depend...
everyone gets depressed, it just depends on their situation
goths can show their depression and angst thryu how they behave, their friends, and their clothing, therefore releasing all of the pent up feeling.
so they can be happier, than most people who pretend and are torn up on the inside...everyone's emo, no one can help that, making fun of people who express it more just makes you a bad person.

Haha. Yea right. Granted several may be but most certainly not all are.

Perhaps not everyone has read it and they would like to put in their say, even if it's the same as others...
Sounds pointless, yes. But it's what threads do.

Being depressed is a personality issue. It doesn't has anything to do with being goth.  

[Bloody Loon]

Well, I'm over exuberant quite a lot of the time, but I can get depressed (teenagehood sucks)...

I think that the depressing thing that people think of is the fact that goths wear black, and to the general populous, black is depressing, so they assume.

Emos aren't depressed either, they're just attention whores, who try and get attention through pity, and then say they don't want it.

I do take anti-depressants though (they act as anti-anxiety... anxiety I have a major problem with)

Heheh too true. I think they are quite emotional, or at least act like it because of their pitiful mindset. They can be depressed but it's the same as anyone with their individual life. They just like to make it known to the world...

Not all of ''goth's'' are depressed,
Though I on the other hand, am very.
Though I haven't been referred to as a goth in quite some time.
Due to my switch of clothes style in High School,
Though I do tend to hear whispers of the name.
And also I've been called emo and just a depressed girl,
Though threw out jr. high, that's all I was to the other students, a goth.
So whatever. I'm in constant depression, but that doesn't mean everyone is.

 

[ShadowLotus]

I've actually never met a single goth that wasn't depressed most of the time. But like other fairytale creatures, I believe they do exist xD
Personally I am depressed almost all of the time. I have had my happy moments but they're not reflected forever. I've known goths that acted perky or happy but they also are quite depressed. They act happy because they have a good time.

 

[destructive emotions]

this is just me, but i am a very angry person. DEPRESSED? no. ANGRY? meh, yes. I think its wrong for people to make those assumptions, because even if we may follow a certain style, or whatever, doesnt mean ALL of those people are depressed. I ******** hate that s**t!!! >.>; SEE...anger. Not depression. hehe. My side of teh story, and my side of emotion...in conclusion, im NOT depressed, but meh mehself, is an ANGRY person...not saying all goths are, but im saying thats me. Also some one before me said "we are goth, not emo"...lol i loved that, my friends and I were over hear laughing our ******** asses off. xD
