I think that in general, people are more sympathetic to suicidal people in today's world of "mental health awareness" and such, but I do remember terms like "coward" and "weakling" getting thrown around when people started opening up more about their suicidal feelings. I think these insults were probably a misguided and reactionary attempt to prevent said person from taking their life by shaming them from doing it.
Do those words hold any weight to you at all? I think if I was called those two words at this point in my life, my reaction would be:

Definitely not a coward, and not a weakling.
those words don't trigger me. It's just a meaningless insult. You open up about something and they play stupid little games and run their mouths. Then you decide you know, silence doesn't work, words don't work, nothing short of violence works. And then you're told you're the problem. So at what point can a person defend themselves, their property, their choices in life, or their life?
They shame rape victims and shame young people, they shame victims and say don't be a victim, but if you turn and become the assailant, you're the problem. So how many times does this have to occur before a person finally snaps?
I'm listening, I'm smiling, I'm playing pretend, ok, now I'm gonna trigger you.
bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh tell us more tell us more… call us if you need us… hey let's fuck with you again. Just to fuck with you. Just to fuck with you.
And if I do something physical or walk away I am the one who is fucked with. Repeatedly.
