He sounds like a total jerk.

I don't think it's stupid to tell people... I think it just goes badly when you tell STUPID people. Anyone who is worth your time and energy and worthy of your trust will be understanding of your condition.

The fact that he considers calling you depressed an INSULT just shows how small-minded he is. That's like trying to insult someone by telling them they're diabetic. It's just ridiculous.

I'm sorry that someone you thought could be a friend turned out to be a loser. (((Hugs))) Lots of people AREN'T like him, though. Lots of my friends know about my depression and anxiety and they are extremely supportive and understanding. I hope you have some people like that IRL... You definitely have lots of those kinds of friends here.
