The people here tend to be so much more kind to me than the vast majority of people in my real life. They understand. They don´t try to lecture me or give me pep talks. They just listen.

It's normal I guess. We can't even blame those in real life that do try to lecture us. Suicidal thoughts are something you can only understand when you've been there.

This community it's good because they will have a conversation about your want to die without trying to steer the conversation into their helpful agenda. I want none of you to die...but if you do, I accept and respect that. Nowhere else can you say "I want to die" and be met with replies that don't have an agenda. We just respond. I've done the suicide hotline lots, all that shit...you can tell from the first message they have a agenda. Two times it's ended up with police at my house taking me to the hospital. It's a tough pill to swallow, but if you want to be pro-choice, you have to be ok with your friends dying by their own hand. Heavy shit, but that attitude is priceless. You cannot have a honest conversation about your feelings with somebody who is actively trying to save you.

People in real life will eventually make it about them re: suicide. Think, "I'll never be able to live after it, I'll cry forever, you have to live for me." They haven't realised that a person's life belongs to that person only and nobody else has the right to your life. Everyone on SS has realised that. People here respect that.

I agree. I'm thrilled to have found like-minded people who don't judge me for brainstorming the most effective way to bleed to death or whatever. Y'all are the best.
I agree as well. I feel this is the only place I can speak freely.

Yes, this is the only place where suicidal people are not bombarded with empty platitudes and stupid cliches. Everyone else keeps saying that suicide is never an option, but if they had experienced the pains of a suicidal person, maybe they'd understand. Not that I wish this upon anyone.
Exactly, its like they have to deal with my constant crying and terrible mood everyday. IT is depressing to be around me. I do nothing i go nowhere, its not even living real life anymore after what happened to me. Why do they even want to have me alive for what? To see me suffer right no thanks
In real life, you have to be more careful about what views you accept or not doing the "right". Here, it is more likely chance of sharing a view on the more morbid side with less social backlash from people you see everyday.

Yes! I can be totally honest about what I'm feeling and thinking, and what's going on in my life that has brought me here. I may only get a "like" or virtual hug emoji but it's more than real world.
Some are and some aren't. The closer you look, and this has been my experience in all forums like this over the years, its mostly just a bunch of people who are all about themselves and the actually kind and commiserating ones actually do exist, but aren't the majority. Same sort of pattern that occurs out in the world where people expect help and behavior toward themselves...but won't give it to others. Th sort of person who gets upset if you don't reply, then takes a few days or weeks themselves. Lots of narcissism. Take a look at the partner's thread for example at all the "can't travel, don't have a method, you have to do it all" sort of posts. That's not a partner...that's a delivery person and is using someone. I've seen people claim they simply cannot order something and get others to do it and send it to them, when the truth is anyone can place the same order, they just want to offload the risk to someone else. One member was asking for "small amounts" for "this months meds" for ages and using multiple people and is still doing it elsewhere while the people who are really in need are ignored. Take a look at some of the bigoted and hateful politics some express. Some people seem to enjoy the identity of being suicidal and use it for a different sort of attention seeking. Others take everything as an invitation to take their pain out on someone posting innocently. Victims can be bad people too. It's not as nice here as it feels on top once the shiny wears off and it's the same cross section of people as IRL. Sadly it's the best there is for being able to speak. But for me anyway, speaking doesn't help anymore...I need real help not empty words and I am tired of one sided empathy wherever you turn.

I agree with all that. It's far from perfect but it's all we've got. There's often a certain amount of narcissism in sharing suffering. I can see it in myself anyway.
But I learnt along time ago that you will take any deal, no matter how bad, when it's the only one on the table.

Ive had one who had been there insinuated that because she had the thoughts but didn't try, and I did that somehow- she still just couldn't get it.
