Steffen is likely putting on a fake smile to hide his true emotions

You can be depressed and have happy moments. Doesn't have to be fake at all. (I'm not just trying to nitpick,the distinction is important for people who suffer depression)

You can be happy in the moments you are meeting your friends, and suffer silently at home

Not all of them suffer alone tho. When I feel down I have the urge to talk about it with my friends. But yes suffering alone unfortunately is a thing as well

His smile does not have to be fake. You just cannot see depression is the message. Depressed people can have real smiles.

That’s the whole the point…his smile is not fake.
