Just t play devil's advocate, suicidality is clearly not an issue normies have to deal with. My mom has to cook for me and also go to Italy to earn money, and I'd long kill myself before bothering to do any of that. Normies work as intended. It's we who are broken. Faulty. Defective.
I believed for the longest time that we were broken.
But then I read something random one day. Just a random stranger's thoughts somewhere online -- I don't remember where. I wish I could articulate it in a way that I originally read it, but there's no way I'm going to be able to do it justice. The point made, though, was this: We might feel like failures in this world, but is that
really the case? Are we really being fair to ourselves in saying that? Or is it more fair to say that the
world is failing
us?
I wish I could remember what exactly they said and how they said it. But whatever it was, it immediately changed my way of thinking on this subject, and that definitely would not have been an easy thing to do.
It's such a complicated subject, looking at the ways of our society and the impacts it has on people of different personalities, different vulnerabilities, different environments, different genetics, different backgrounds, different cultures, etc.
Look at how insanely active this forum is. What does it say about the world and our way of life that this would be such a popular place to come to? People are so hung up on how "wrong" it is for a suicide forum to exist at all that they don't stop and question WHY it's here and WHY it's so popular.
They're so quick to dismiss us as broken losers. It's the easy, convenient (non)solution. It would be so much harder for society to actually stare the darkness in the face, confront it, and actually do something about it to better everyone's lives and give people better opportunities to recover and improve our general way of life and make it less likely for people to fall down the cracks in the first place.
Technically, the world doesn't owe us anything, and it's up to us to adapt to it. But make no mistake: This is a choice that "the world" has made. Society has the ability to do better; it just chooses not to.
