how many people do you think would honestly admit they are suicidal?

i was just wondering... i think there's a lot of people who are suicidal, but won't admit it.
that's the impression i get.
and i don't blame them, because admitting you are hypothetically suicidal can get you locked up in the nuthouse,
which will make your life even worse.

i noticed this guy today on a live stream... he was talking about life and stuff,
and he was like almost halfway implying he was suicidal.

he was asked where he was from, and he said something like:
"i don't even know, i was just brought here by my parents,
and now i'm stuck in this shithole... anyone got a ticket??"
and then laughing.

it would probably pass most people by, but to me it sounded like a hint of suicidal desire.

Yeah I have often wondered how many people are at least pondering it, but are afraid to admit it. Personally, I don't give a flying rats petunia who knows (except my family, that's just embarrassing). My give a damn got busted long ago.

i always wonder if people around me or if people i know are suicidal. i analyze what they say and joke about like you do. its probably more than we think. its not really polite or acceptable to just ask if someone if suicidal though.

My housemate and I go to our local grocery store frequently and we have a pretty good rapport with several of the wokers. There is this one guy that I've picked up clues that he definitely thinks about it; although he's never said anything outright. So, the other day, I just outright asked, "I wanna ask you something, you ever think about checking out?". He instantly replied, "Every day". I chuckled and said, "Yeah, I hear ya".

those who aren't ashamed of being suicidal are often scared of the consequences of others knowing. I imagine few people would admit it, though some might "joke" about it.

i wish i was brave enough to ask someone if they were suicidal like that when i had the chance.
