Discussion Last words to online friends?

[boredtodeath]

I dont have any friends in real life, only online friends. They've shown me kindness and friendship that I've never had before, and tbh are the only reason why I bother waking up in the morning. I don't have the heart to tell them that I'll be killing myself, but at the same time I don't want to go offline all of a sudden and leave them questioning what happened forever. What do you even do in a situation like this? You can't exactly leave a suicide note for people who live hundreds of miles away and don't know you personally. I wish I didn't want to die.

Get their email and send them a delayed email. If you're on Facebook you could add them and let them find out via family/whatever (just make sure you don't let them in on your intentions before you CTB. )

My best friend has my Facebook, and knows I'm suicidal, but I have no idea if he would contact my family to try to interfere or not so I'll be using delayed email.

I'm in a similar situation, but i've decided I won't tell them anything. Now we might have broadly different approaches and it's alright. I'd rather have them stay in the dark tbh.

I understand.

I'm not telling anyone, only my friends on here. Too much chance they will ruin plans and pile the guilt on.

I have some online friends but I'm debating on writing a Facebook and Twitter post for everyone to read right before I drink SN. I won't be found for a while as I plan to be in the middle of nowhere.

That's actually one of the reasons my pc and phone can't be wiped rather I just have to uninstall browsers. I left instructions in notes to my best friend and mother how to get ahold of them what to open what to click what to basically type with pictures. Granted I know that they manage to get one right that one will tell others.

Like wiseI told them to post on Facebook on my page...both onlinefriends that would tell others are there as well.

Considering I don't trust discord or Facebook to tell them personally as they don't have my address anyway. Only option.

Personally I've alwayshated when people disappear. I remember someone I knew from 25 years ago just disappeared and I still wonder and hope they were find our found peace with whatever.

I don't have any friends who will miss me so that makes thing easy. I am thinking to deactivate all accounts i can.

There are IFTTT tools to schedule SM messages u can use that for posting delayed messages. Schedule multiple messages so if one fail and other will work. I would delay msg by a week. If u survive and everyone starts posting RIP that would be awkward.

It surprises me how do you care about virtual friends, I don't even bother. There are no such thing for me as online friendship, the only true friendship can be in real life, the rest doesn't matter. Well, this is just my opinion and I have no idea how do you feel, but I'm glad if that what makes you to wake every morning. Follow your heart, if you feel this is right then tell them truth, the worst could happen you'll lost someone you never met and if you CTB everyone and everything will be gone for you forever, no matter what you said.

My last words would be those of comfort and also very concise as I don't want to drag things out too much or give too much information. Basically thanking them for the time I had with them, list my reasons and that I'm at peace with my decision and then be done with it. I also don't have their contact information such as email thus I wouldn't be able to necessarily send them a delayed response (if only there was a way to schedule messages via Discord or other service..).

I've told a few online friends about my wanting to ctb and a few of them know a tentative date. So they'll be able to tell people in the end. But I'm also planning on leaving a message in a discord server I own where I'll write goodbye without any details as to where I am and how I'll do it so that even if they do discover a way to contact others (they won't, I've made sure there's no way for them to reach anyone I know irl in time to stop or find me) and then only open the channel with the message when I'm about to go. That's only for my online friends who have me on discord, though.

I'm kind of glad I don't really have friends online (or irl) anymore so I don't have to think about this sort of stuff. Back when I did, and I was suicidal, my closest friends were made very aware and were largely respectful about it so I don't think they would have told my family or alerted the police. I wouldn't take the chance now. Maybe if I was really close to someone, I'd feel obligated to. I feel like online friends fade eventually anyway. Sure, there's always a thought in the back of your mind that you hope they're okay and just moved on... but for me anyway, it's expected for someone to just leave.

I used to feel the same, about how the only meaningful friendships you'll find will be in real life and online friendships/relationships aren't "real." But the people I met on FFXIV (some online game) have given me much more kindness than anyone in the real world has. I can have a laugh with them and thats all a friend is to me.:) Of course, in the real world I'll still be sitting alone and be considered a 'loner' by everyone who see's me, but how I'm perceived doesn't bother me anymore. So to me, they're my real friends. But anyway, thanks for your comment and I hope I gave some insight.

I have a part of my suicide note that mentions a way to let my online friends know that I'm dead but even if they don't follow through I'm just going to disappear on them. I really don't want to do it like that but it's the safest way I can think of.
