I need advice. So, my close social circle is pretty small and the 3 people in it know I’m struggling very bad with depression. My friends who I’m close to, not bffs are getting upset at my lack of not responding or being able to hang out. (1/2)

I don’t feel close enough to them to tell them why I’m depressed & what hardships I’m dealing with. But I feel like I owe 5-10 people a gentle explanation. I just don’t know how. I don’t want to be labeled as a bad friend, but I feel like I am. How would you approach people who are mildly upset at you for this? I’ve dropped hints, but nobody checks in or takes it seriously.
