The reason why normies are so disconnected from all the depressed kids is the same reason they are disconnected from any other subgroup: they just dont understand them. Just like they dont understand furries, incels/mgtow, gamers, weebs and countless other subcultures and groups. And yet they try to claim that they understand the main point, understand the mentality, understand the cause. Thats why when they express their opinions about something it always sounds stupid or disingenuous to people who actually do understand those things. They have yet to find out that the only thing they know for sure is that they know nothing.
