depressed people
 
do you think being around depressed people has the influence of making you slightly depressed too?

Yes, I think others can have a great influence on your mood. Especially if someone has negative feelings they can rub off on you..

yes of course. It happens to me all the time....I got many depressed friends. I have to avoid them otherwise I'll get depressed too.

Have been really depressed (U don't wanna know HOW bad :oops: )... My boss had a depression and she worked it all out on me :twisted: !! I couldn't handle it, and in the end thought I was no good at all and everything that went wrong was my fault :? ! I didn't show it to her, when she yelled at me and got mad (mostly without reason) I just turned around and walked away :roll: .

Now I have to be carefull, 'cause I feel when something really goes wrong I can feel myself going down again... and I don't want to go through it all over again... I have learnt to talk more about my feelings, which I didn't do back then.

But yes, I feel when I am among depressed or sad people, I tend to go "down" again :?

Having a gloomy feeling and being "down" are different from clinical depression. Yes, being around a fun crowd will make you more happy and being around negative creeps will not make you particularly fun. But all those things are not true depression. They are just feelings - depression is a mental illness.

If I read depression, I think of clinical depression - not the feeling of sadness. Very very big difference, though people use the terms interchangably.

I do agree that being with a depressed person is usually not fun and as such people may feel sad as well.
