That's a fairly apt description of coming out of a depression from my own experience. But the world hasn't changed, just your perceptions of it. I.e part.of depression for some people is irrationally perceiving judgement or dislike from others where there is none. In getting better, it might seem like people are nicer, but the change is really internal.

But is it though? There's the old saying that people will treat you the same way that you treat them (not a universal truth by any measure though). If you present different social cues based on the way you're feeling -- and these can be damnably subtle -- then people might actually be nicer in casual, every day interactions, rather than just seeming so. I don't know how you'd test this though.
