Huh? You’re still not getting it. A depressed person physically can’t stop being sad. A person whos not getting invited to groups because of their gear absolutely can make their own group.
The only reason that group would then fail to fill if they play on a low pop server, which again–has either has nothing to do with gatekeeping, or is due to the party leader then deciding to gatekeep other people who are also low gear score, which is its own separate hilarious hypocrisy.
