Am I depressed or just sensitive?

Based on personal reflection and observation upon my life experiences, I would consider myself more inclined to being a sensitive person. This sensitive trait, especially with people's feelings, and emotions, are particularly more enhanced due to my Empath identity which bestows me with the ability to be more in tune with the non-verbal cues during social interactions. Also, sensitivity is more pronounced in my disposition, because I do require a lot of personal time, privacy and space to recharge my energy levels after various social interactions. The lack of this recharging schedule would lead me to a state of detachment from the world, where I would fail to communicate with people using my effective empathetic listening skills.

Is it not possible to be both sensitive and depressed? The word 'sensitive' has negative connotations: no one can tell you if something has or has not hurt you because they are not you. Only you really know how you feel both physically and emotionally. If someone tells you that you are 'just sensitive,' they are not being very supportive. If you're concerned that you may be depressed, seek a friend, school counselor, parent, relative, or a kind therapist; there is hope.

Do you feel sad or alone? Do you feel crushed? Or perhaps do you feel like someone is being inconsiderate to you?

Depression isn't necessarily about taking everything to heart, it's more about not being to see any positive.

Could be either or both :) Depressed is feeling like you are in a black hole, you have negative thoughts, you feel down about life and may be able to see some good things but primarily you feel very very sad and negative towards things. You feel unable to feel happy or boost your mood. Sensitive is where you just feel emotional towards things, where you may very easily get emotional from something someone said, something you have seen. You can't really control it but you just suddenly feel emotional or feel an emotion because of something. :)

I don't know. I hope you just sensitive. Don't be so desperate. Everything will be fine. You'renot depressed

Depression makes you think things negatively so they impact the way you see certain things, therefore feeling more sensitive. For example if you are depressed and have low self esteem, hearing someone say something negative about you will impact you more than usual.

I used to wonder the same way. I recommend taking online depression screening tests, like the one on 7cups.

Well, it just depends on your case history. Just by judging from the question would be improper and not good.
