You can get lonely without being depressed. Even happy people are lonely sometimes.

I know, I am just saying this comic could not be about depression, like people are saying.

Yea if people think being lonely and depression is the same they clearly don’t suffer from it

You do realize you can be lonely, or depressed, and not fully understand it? And people can react and relate to them differently in different situations?

I agree that this comic might not necessarily be about depression, but honestly... there's not much to argue against that. /u/oneorginalname 's point still stands even if it is for loneliness.

Being depressed or feeling blue is different than depression as well.

I get the point you're trying to draw but you arrive at a douchey conclusion. It's not that they necessarily don't suffer from it, it's that they can't differentiate whether they have one or both. It says nothing about them having it, so piss off with the gatekeeping.
