• Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

So...uh. Someone in my gf's personal life killed themselves. I honestly don't know what's wrong with me but I basically congratulated them i feel. I just said "it's good that their at peace, there was nothing else" type shit. I feel bad but I honestly don't even react to suicides or death anymore. I dont know what is wrong with me. I'm terrible for this.

I would say you were tired.
It is best to keep a sympathetic response to the death of others. You do not want to be viewed as a jerk.

I understand where you're coming from. Whenever I hear of a suicide I feel a similar sense of pride, as well as inspiration. However, modern society doesn't view suicide fairly and while I agree that the end of suffering is a good thing, the best thing to do is simply to mask up and play the expected role. Shake your head, offer condolences, and move on.

You can always play it off as a shock response. If she asks, apologize and tell her that you were shocked and messed up. I understand where you were coming from tho. Dont worry this can be fixed with a white lie

Umm, that's a totally sensible response? Everything else is selfish and yucky. It's like if everyone in your tribe murdered a puppy, and you were having pangs of conscience over not doing that lmao

A year ago my mom said that the cute intelligent female doctor who had been touching me months prior had died in her sleep, and I congratulated her, too^^

It's okay, you're not a therapist we're humans and you comforted them in the best way you could. If they get mad then they shouldn't have vented and not set boundaries beforehand.

It's always very awkward when someone says to me somebody ctb'd. I can't act like I'm shocked or upset. I think to myself "good for them" but on the outside I just say something casual like "oh really? wow!" I never know what to say without drawing attention to my own suicidality
