te don't have to be depressed to be goth... te just have to ask yourself this do te like o are drawn to the darker side of things, aspects of life o Gothic music? Are your Friends goth... do te get along with other people o find yourself attracted to other people o things generally referred to as 'gothic', o no? It can make a world of difference if te think you're becoming 'goth' o are just feeling gloomy but will get over it with time.
If te can't tell then just give it some time and your prefereces will tell te eventually, it could just be a faze o maybe you're just really depressed, wear black if te want (if te do), but that alone wont make te Goth.
Some Gothic people are actually very happy people, happy with being Goth.
