Is Sweden depressing?

Hi there! I'm graduating from school in about a year and a half, and I've been thinking a lot about studying (and maybe living) in Sweden. I’ve already found some great universities that offer the degree I want in English — something I haven’t been able to find in Germany, where I currently live. Also I started learning the language and it’s pretty easy for me :] (For context, I’m Ukrainian.)

Naturally, I started researching life in Sweden, and one topic keeps coming up over and over again: the idea that Sweden is a very "depressing" place. I’ve come across a lot of posts from people saying they feel lonely there, that they can’t seem to find their place there, and that people in general aren’t very friendly. Of course, in Ukraine and Germany, people don’t just greet every stranger on the street either, but these posts make it seem like Sweden (and Nordic countries in general) are filled with antisocial people, endlessly cold and gloomy weather, and an unavoidable sense of loneliness. No seriously someone literally said “don’t go here if you don’t want to commit ”. Excuse me???? Is it that bad???

I’d love to hear from people who have moved to Sweden—what has your experience been like? How do you handle the climate? Is there anyone who doesn’t have a sad or depressing story and actually enjoys living there? I know, of course, that happy people exist, but it’s hard to find perspectives that aren’t either overly negative or overly romanticized for social media. I’d really appreciate any personal stories!
