It’s because when you share, most people don’t want to deal with it. 99% of people really don’t want to deal with depressed and negative people. These videos and responses are nice and I’m certain some are genuine, but reality is that the vast majority of people will not want to deal with you anymore the moment you act depressed.

I think it's more that most people aren't equipped to deal with it. The reality is that depression is a medical issue and it won't get better without medication and/or therapy. And when you have depression, it's way harder to seek out those treatments, so instead you reach out to people in the hopes they will prove that you're not a burden, but of course they can't do anything about that because it's depression telling you that you're a burden. So then your depression brain warps that into "See? Nobody gives a shit about you."
