Does anyone else want to attempt but fail just to say you experienced it?

I have to disagree.
Considering that we don't know @1DayItWillBover 's in depth reasoning for wanting this, i feel like saying that it's "cruel" is unfair.
Especially considering what some people have mentioned here, something that is more common that i thought, that desire to try and fail, almost as a cry for help.
Yes, it wastes hospital resources.
Yes, it brings trauma to people.
Still, it's not something done with the purpose of achiving those things.
That's why i don't think it's fair to call any of the people that do it, or want to do it, "despicable".
I say this because i don't think a person can simply fake a desire like this, something that is so personal, and doing it for no good reason.
For someone to attempt suicide, while wanting it to fail, i mean, that's still a very extreme act, there must be a reason for it, it's not something done out of nowhere.
Like i've said before, a lot of times it's a cry for help.

Sorry if i sounded agressive in my reply, that's not the intention, i understand what you mean and i respect your opinion.
My point is that, in my eyes, anyone that would attempt such an extreme thing, would do it for an equally extreme reason, they're clearly not ok.
That's why it's important to have empathy, always, especially in a forum like this where everyone is so miserable already, like, no one ends up here by chance.
It's important to understand what leads to someone having said desires.
I repeat, i understand what you mean and i'm really sorry if at any moment i sounded disrespectful, i'm just trying to express what i really think.

You do not sound disrespectful at all, but knowingly doing an overdose when you have no intentions of following through, will continue to be despicable to me. Sometimes we simply have to agree to disagree. I did not block the person, but to me, the idea is cruel, self-serving, and well...despicable. Those who try and fail I understand, but to deliberately fail. No. That is just wrong.

agreeing to disagree sounds good, no hard feelings as well.

Not at all. I bring my own perspective to this, and I know how narrow and singular that is....by-the-way...glad to meet you...smile.

Women are more likely to "attempt" suicide without actually intending to commit suicide so I am not surprised by this thread.
