You are either depressed and realistic or optimistic and naive.
I am very resilient and see the world realistically but I am not depressed and have never been. I think you could be realistic and optimistic and resilient and not depressed all at the same time

Yeah that makes sense. I agree that just because someone sees the world in a more realistic way doesn't mean they're depressed. They could just simply be more realistic, which I consider myself to be. Yes, I am lonely a lot, but I don't think I truly have depression. I just see things in a more realistic manner and don't get overly optimistic and naive.
