Personally I think one has to separate depression from how people perceive a lack of connectedness with others.
if you don’t feel a connection with anything in this world, and the bulk of the people around you are for lack of a better nomenclature, [bleep] bags... and you aren’t connected to nature at all, then people could easily think, why the hell am I wasting my time here.
Hope would be the only thing they have left to keep them going - but in the end the lack of connectiveness explains why no one knew they were in that spot, or why they quit valuing life.
