Discussion does anyone else feel like seeing other people sad makes them feel worse?

[liz!!!!!]

going through these threads, and even having conversations with others who don't want to be here anymore just makes me feel...like shit. i start crying and it feels like a dark cloud is filling my head. i could never bring myself to help someone. even if it's all they want. when people would tell me that things would get better, it'd help because i knew they were right. things suck right now. but you always have later. you always have time to get out of what issue is plaguing you if it's a situation. but that doesn't go for everyone, so what helped me won't help others. and sometimes even that wouldn't help me, because the obvious answer is always, "but things are hard NOW." the feeling of being so utterly useless that all i can say is i'll miss you. i'm sorry that you feel like this is your only escape. i'm sorry i can't help you.

Yeah you have to navigate your way round this site kinda carefully. Some people react violently to positivity. I try to keep my time interacting with such people limited. There are plenty of more balanced people here too that aren't completely obsessed with negative thinking. I don't know if such negative people can be helped without hospitalisation, it's sad.

I think that it makes sense to hate life and not wish to exist here. It's perfectly understandable being suicidal in a world as awful as this, at least to me existence could never be worth enduring, and it's not "wrong" and "irrational" to have a realistic view towards existence, in fact at least in my case suicide is the most rational decision. People should just accept the fact that for many people wishing for suicide is the logical response to seeing life for what it really is and it's not sad that someone cannot suffer anymore. Yes, it's tragic how so much endless suffering exists in this world but unfortunately it's just the reality. This world is an incredibly cruel place which is why the thought of being gone comforts me.

It is depressing to know so many people suffer from different things and feel the need to think of CTBing in the first place.

While I don't like seeing so many people sad, it also lets me know that I'm not alone nor crazy. This life is hell. Period.
