To cheese: to perturb, upset, piss off, annoy

When you say you suffer from depression people asking you why you are sad

I am not sad. Sadness is a perfectly normal, healthy reaction to an upsetting event. I was sad when my family dog died - I still feel sad when I think of her

Depression in many is not even a sense of sadness; quite often it is nothing. And I don't mean no feeling, I mean an inability to feel ANYTHING. Got a new job? yay. Cousin killed himself. aw. You have to learn to fake emotional responses that are appropriate because you come across as creepy by not responding in a "standard" way
Thanks for this!
