You should really be more careful taking things that people say as a personal affect on you, or people like you. It is ok for people to talk about their personal feelings/beliefs/experiences without it being value judged by you (as rude or narrow minded).

Not every message is meant for you.

It's also ok for people to voice their personal feelings that someone else's personal feelings are narrow-minded. This appeal is self-defeating. (And maybe the original post would have not gotten such a response if it had stuck to their personal anecdote and not sweepingly generalised it)

The trouble with conversations about depression is that it's hard to come up with even simple agreements that everyone is happy about.
