Poll: Would you consider to meet some from Sanctioned Suicide in real life?

[noname223]

I go with maybe. I would not rule it it to 100%. However, I never trusted anyone to share my phone number with. Once someone asked me for it and this person turned out to an evil actor. I could have gotten in some trouble. There was another time someone turrned out as weirdo who asked me to add him on discord. I am too paranoid to use the SaSu related discord and telegram channels.

There was one time I had a conversation with someone in a romantic way and I think this would be the only scenario where I could imagine to meet someone in real life. Partner suicide is way too risky.

I think it is pretty dangerous to meet some from here in real life. And there are not that many Germans in this forum anyway.

 

[derpyderpins]

Almost certainly not. Lots of crazies out there. I'm fine being internet friends and - only once we're close - sharing something like discord, but this is a separate life. At one point I was talking about collaborating with someone on music, and I'd still be open to that if there's a vocalist here, but that can be done entirely remotely.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

No

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I too would only consider meeting someone from here if it was for romantic purposes but it's rather unlikely.

Four years ago I almost had a chance to do that. She even lived 20 minutes away from me. Only reason we didn't meet up was because it was peak quarantine measures in California. Then eventually she figured out what I'm really like and changed her mind and moved back to another state. Oh well.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Yeah, there are around 3 to 5 people who I'd say that I trust enough to want to meet them. I also think that it'd be a massive amount of relief talking to these people as they would actually understand me and my ideas (or at least some of it). I don't trust the rest though and I would rather not meet anybody else than the 3 to 5 people on my list. Just to clarify, I wouldn't be meeting them for a partner suicide or anything as, due to the current laws, I believe that it'd be better if I attempted alone but I would want to meet them to simply talk about my ideas and thoughts about life

 

[Forever Sleep]

I considered it at one point. We'd been PM-ing for a while. I'm not sure it's a great idea though really. Multiple reasons. The obvious one that they might turn out to be an accomplished actor, murderer. I'm not interested in being murdered. (I'm maybe too fussy about how I die.)

Even if it goes well though, I'm pretty tired of feeling a connection with people and then not hearing from them again. It's not to blame people here but, we're all dealing with all sorts. I've known a couple of people feel more like friends and then, just vanish. I've become more used to it in PM's. I try not to put expectations on people but I think, if it extended to real life and actually becoming friends, it would likely hurt more.

Sometimes I think our various 'issues' here wouldn't gel well. So, for instance, someone I chatted to a fair bit said they had Borderline Personality Disorder. It seemed like they could go from being very intensely caring to cold. Again, not their fault but my abandonment issues would trigger at feeling a deep connection and then being abandoned.

Plus, although it would be people that were forewarned you might CTB, it would still be more people we might feel bad for leaving if we do suicide or, they do.

So, although I partly liked the thought of it, I thought overall it could cause problems. Sad really but I don't trust friendship that much now too.

I have actually physically met someone from here already so my answer is an automatic yes. We organized to meet when I walked my dog as that's the only time I can go outside on my own. It was nice, especially as I haven't interacted with a person physically outside of family members and my therapist. I am probably definitely naive for doing that tho as I have only interacting with this website for maybe 1 month and I know dangerous people exist.

i answered yes cause i'm kind of a masochist and really how bad could it be? there are some people on here that have become familiar faces, i guess it's almost like passing someone you know on the street on a regular basis.

and i've done such stupid + risky things in the name of addiction (meeting people from the internet at sketchy gas stations to make drug deals)

but i'm also a dumbass with social anxiety so maybe just lying to myself? there is some level of comfort, though, in knowing that as a chronic people pleaser, i probably wouldn't do or say anything to antagonize (unlike the way i am online ha!) so i can't imagine getting stabbed or anything.

if i managed to overcome the social anxiety, distance (and access to drugs) would be my main barrier to entry i suppose.

 

[fishlover]

i would and i have. went to his apartment on a military base lol. probably craziest thing ive done
it was fun while it lasted but in the end i cut contact.

id like to meet someone here again to be friends. for me its because i feel like i have more in common with the people on this site than in real life.
i dont care about stranger danger because im ready to die anyway.
if youre in NYC, feel free to PM me.

[Myforevercharlie]

Yes.
Met up with a few.

 

[ForgottenAgain]

Personally, I'd really like to meet someone from Sasu in real life. I struggle a lot to make friends and this is the only place where I feel like people understand what I feel. Obviously I'm aware that there's danger as this website surely must attract dangerous people. However, I believe I'd be capable of being safe and potentially meeting someone nice after getting to know them for a while.
There are members here who almost feel like neighbours in a way. People I've seen commenting on the same threads that I do, or people who's posts I regularly stumble upon and who's words I find interesting, caring or funny.

The sense of community I feel here I haven't felt anywhere else, I think it could be so nice to transport that to real life. To not spend 14h or more online but actually have friends, going out. Anyway, just dreaming...

I'm currently under the effects of a tranquilizer, so this may not be the best time for me to be answering something like this, but yeah, I'd like to meet up with people from here. I mean, I'd need some serious familiarity going on, first, but it sounds good, yeah?

Who are you and why are we talking about meeting up?

Some of you people here are just so damn interesting -- a lot of "lively" personalities, you know? Well, only one personality per person (ideally), but you get the point.

But ummmmm...

i answered yes cause i'm kind of a masochist and really how bad could it be? there are some people on here that have become familiar faces, i guess it's almost like passing someone you know on the street on a regular basis.

Yeeeeeeah... Relating to this as I've got a pretty severe social anxiety going on with depression on top of that as well as agoraphobic tendencies...

I mean, things are great when my central nervous system goes to sleep on me, but otherwise I'm so jittery you'd think I have coffee running through my veins and so depressed and lethargic you'd think I just crawled out of a grave. Who in their left brain wants to meet up with the walking dead?

 

[LostLily]

Everyone here seems nice, but ultimately we are all still strangers. I rather not take that chance and even if that person is nice in real life it would make I harder for me to process it if they ctb.

 

[3/4Dead]

shrug maybe. I'd have to talk to them for a really long time first though.

 

[LaVieEnRose]

If I can't trust certain people on here, then I can't trust any human period.

 

[Pluto]

 

[notwhereIbelong]

If we've chatted long enough, and they don't live too far away from me (same continent at least), I wouldn't be completely opposed to it.

 

[foreverlanguish]

Yes I would. I would love to find a CTB partner on this site, so I wouldn't mind meeting someone from here irl if it comes down to it.

 

[avalokitesvara]

yeah, i might need someone to help me with some of my plan execution (nothing dangerous or illegal) so i'd hope i could find that here.
