It's really annoying to hear people say they want to kill themselves all the time. Seriously, if you're that fucking unhappy, why don't you just do it? I mean...if you're miserable and making others miserable around you, what good are you to the world? You're just using up resources, taking up space, and using up all the good oxygen. And you probably eat meat and use gallons upon gallons of oil every year. Yup, I am insensitive.
Hacker...God says you must find yourself... God is an optimist I guess...he says you shouldn't shoot yourself in the face.
i think everyone goes through stages of depression, and sucidial thoughts are pretty common in this 'day and age' ... having gone through it i can feel sympathetic to people that are going through it themselves i would never tell someone to just end it, cause i personally don't think that they're "using up resources, taking up space, and using up all the good oxygen" and i really don't think they mean to bring anyone else down, just simply asking for help in their own way...maybe..sometimes anyway... and i'm not attacking your opinion on this just stating my own... everyone needs a little help every once in a while, even if they don't realize it, and even if the out come isn't exactly what makes the most people 'happy'
i know someone like this.. it's very draining.. it's just a game for them to get what they want.. but sadly he's never happy unless he's completely misrable.. i've decided he can be that way and i'm done with trying to help him be happy.. because it'll never happen. made me realise that if i want to be happy.. i have to make myself happy.. no ones going to do it for me.
Maybe they just need to talk it out to kepe themselves from doing it, make someon know that hteyre hurting to feel even vaguely ok. Suicide isnt something to joke about.. what if someone close to you was like that, say vented on the net about suicide to try and stop themselves but had that closed off someohw, felt like they couldnt talk to people in their real lives about it, actually ended everything. Im gonna guess that that would suck immensely.
Some people just need to get it out in the open, and talk about thier shit with people who they don't deal with in day to day life. Generally i agree with you guys, people (attention whores) who whine about life and parade thier depression and suicidal "intentions" over the internet make me sick, and should get bloody on with it and stop wasting my time. But some people are genuinely unhappy and need to talk about it, so have a little compassion for those who do. I think the person we're all so subtly talking about is one of those people. I could be wrong, in fact i hope i am wrong, and they're just doing it for attention, although that's a paradox, because if she is then i actually hope she dies. A nickel to the person who can make sense of this post.
You insensitive jerk! I'm kidding I know how you feel. I had a friend that was a cutter, but she seemed proud of the attention it got her. One day I snapped because I was sick of it and told her to keep cutting herself until I could pimp her out to the circus. And before anyone bitches I did tell the right people to try to get her to stop.
That's exactly what I mean, in my experience people say those things to get attention, not because the actually are GOING to do it.
but attention grabbing comes in all forms, just because they're attempt to gain attention is in a negative way does that make them worse than the people that try and gain your attention in a more positive way?
i understand where you're coming from, but what about the people that are actually going to do it, or do something along those lines? how do you distinguish? i'd give words of sympathy to anyone, attention grabbing or not, everyone needs it sometimes, and whats wrong with making an effort? i don't know
People who actually are going to do it, don't go on the internet and tell everyone. They keep it inside, write it in a journal...it's very internal for people that actually are GOING To do it. Those kids that get on the internet and say it over and over...It's extremely annoying and screams "I want attention"
Although there are some people who announce over the internet that they're going to end it and actually follow through with it. I think [deleted] is one of them. But then i'm relatively new here and havn't been dealing with this as long as you people have.
yeah i understand that... just from my point of view i understand being the kid that thinks about and you know, fuck i tried i've been there and was helped out of it, so even if it gets annoying for me, i'm gonna try and help anyone...even the kids that only do it for attention, suicide and depression are not fun, so whatever i can do, i will do... i understand how it can be annoying, but alot of things can be annoying
Maybe thats how you operate. Hell, maybe thats how the majority of peopel operate. but majortiy doesnt mean all, and if someone rambling on the net about suicidal thoughts makes them fele a little bit better, gives thema few more days of staying alive, then why not? You have an ignore function afterall.
