Has anyone else been accused of being unpleasant as a result of their depression?

I attempt to make up for it by smiling and being courteous, but I think people can see right through it and still regard me as rude because it's all a ruse to them. Is there anyone else?

We even get that with anxiety. Simply because we are focused on getting through each day. So other people can view us as cold. We might not go to things if invited. Simply because we couldn't handle it. But others see it as rude. By now none of it bothers me at all. I do what I feel I have to do to get through every thing. Not everybody knows I have anxiety issues. So I can understand them viewing things the way they do.

In my case it's warranted because it makes me outwardly moody. But I hate the whole "you're using it as an excuse" thing. Yeah. I'm definitely like this because it's fun for me.
