Am I horrible because I cant say I feel genuinely sad when someone commits suicide? Although I understand that you never know the extent of someone stress and depression, I feel like there are alrernatives. Try to heal the source of the stress or depression, talk to someone, shit BEG for help. So many people die in accidents or at the hands of another person, I just cant. My friend just texted me an article of some guy who killed himself on FB Live. like "this is so sad." I didnt feel anything.

Eh I'm kinda indifferent to the suicide thing. All I can say is I've hit rock bottom several times in life but never contemplated taking my life.

And some people just aren't mentally all there so who am I to judge or whatever.

Well, none of us chose to be here, we were put here.

And I feel it's a choice that's made that one no longer wants to be here.

In this world we live in, it's understandable why some may feel that way.

These recent events have seriously made me reconsider having kids.

I understand the things that may cause someone to, I just felt really insensitive in that moment and Im wondering if anyone relates. Im not saying one doesnt have the right to end their life.


CHOKE

I don't understand it.

I want to live forever. I don't want to miss anything

I feel like if I died I'd miss so much and I would be pissed

I feel similarly

But I think some people are just -- WEAK.

Not everyone can tough things out, so they do what they think is a way stop the pain for themselves and everyone around them.

But 99% of the time I feel nothing unless I had some connection with the person and could semi-understand.

That has yet to happen.

I don't really see the problem though. Everyone's moral compass is different. You're not obligated to feel sympathy or empathize with something you don't necessarily relate to.

No. The only thing I don't like is negative criticism of suicide.

Esp. trolls that like to tell the mourning family how weak they think the person was

I think that mortality is the hardest thing to accept.

The fact that we're only here for a relatively short period of time....and then we're gone...and the world keeps spinning! :cheerup: A "next?!" mess owt :usureuok:

It really humbles you, though.

And THATS why we invented heaven. whew


CHOKE

I do feel bad for the girls that do it and think there's a Happily Ever After

A lot of people say that but would rarely offer to help the individual if they could.

Factor in the turmoil of dealing with a possible mental illness(something that some people wont understand) and you can understand why its such a hard situation to judge.

True. Its weird because Ive pep talked 3 people in my life who've come to me with that :uhh:


DVDDY.

I heard about the dude too. I'll admit- I don't really have much experience with suicide. I have never had such thoughts and, as far as I know, none of my friends have either. However, I'm usually more sympathetic with the family and friends of the individual. They will have to deal with the consequences everyday. I'm still unsure at to why he put it on Facebook live though.

Brandy's Human Album honestly saved me from ever attempting to. People are different and it doesn't necessarily make them weak.
