8. They’ve become shy out of a sudden.
If you know them from a while now, and they used to be funny, confident and easygoing, and now they seem shy and very private with their life, it could be a red flag that they’re secretly unhappy or dealing with depression.
And even though they try to smile all the time to hide how they’re really feeling deep inside, their smile is no longer authentic and seems fake.
Maybe they don’t care about their appearance anymore, they’ve stopped dressing up or even gained weight, as it is normal for those dealing with depression.
They’ve become very quiet and prefer being alone, instead of having people around. If your loved one does all these things, it’s important that you do everything you can to help them.
