What would you like to know the most from people who play a fake identity on Sanctioned Suicide?

Honestly, I believe that person was trying to be passive aggressive cowardly disguised as being clueless

They even had it explained to them in an obvious way, but they still replied with that sassy "and yet…". Just seems like someone who's competitive with their illness and wants to insinuate that people who stay here for a long time aren't actually ill.

I completely missed that message, or forgot about it... maybe that person could be playing a long con trying to get SN sources banned and their facade is slipping (ok, the saboteur claim was some exaggeration, idk why they were here)

I'm kinda the same way (too trusting sometimes). And I'd give ANYTHING if the suffering I've read about on here was fake. The things some humans will do to others just because they "feel like it and they can".

Me?? I guess maybe I feel like a fake sometimes because since SaSu led to me reconnecting with my son I am not nearly as suicidal as I was when I joined. But I try to interact with others and I DO know what it feels like to want, with every fiber of your being, to JUST. STOP. BREATHING. So ... There IS that ...

Wait, being here made you less suicidal?? Maybe it's time for me to leave...

My question would be, are they treating this as a roleplay?

Also my username is there, I am here because this us the only forum I found where people are actually peaceful. Maybe because the only forums I found are either filled with porn or filled with obviously messed up people.

What do you mean by messed up? I feel like I'm not a good person and I think many others here would agree, but I genuinely don't know what you mean.

Yes, it did. Wild, I know. I also know (though I cannot think of any specific screen names off the top of my head) of that happening with others.

when someone aims to deceive long term for some reason (maybe to shut down SN sources.... yes some ppl are that desperate to stop CTB..... to those who think stopping SN would do much... the 5 last acts have plenty of other things)

PS: They should focus more on improving conditions, teaching ppl to be nicer to each other, etc... and improving therapy significantly... therapists should not cancel willy nilly, be disrespectful (some are, some aren't) etc

thanks hahaha but i meant what they were referring to as a long con
not what the term means

I tend to feel a knee jerk reaction to steer clear of people who I've found out are lying. Not that it's happened here that I have become aware of. Unless they have outright admitted that they've created a false representation of themselves elsewhere.

It's too triggering for me though of someone I grew up with. (Whom I believe to be a narcissist.) They would tell tales where they were the victim and I was the perpetraitor. I know what it's like to be at the centre of a shitstorm like that so truthfully, I hold an absolute contempt for people who try to do that to others.

I remember as a child once, I started to emulate them once, expanding on stories of abuse. It wasn't really abuse. It was a reasonable amount of discipline in response to me pushing boundaries. I don't really even know why I did it. To try and fit in maybe. I was guilty of that around other 'friends'. At the time, it felt good to get the attention but, it felt so wrong too. I don't think I did it again.

But yeah, truthfully, I despise people who do it to get others into trouble. Perhaps unkind to say but, I don't really care what they're going through to make them do that. I find it hard to accept as an excuse to persecute someone else. Especially if that person has done nothing wrong.

If it's something like cat fishing. Again, I find it odd and pretty manipulative. I feel bad for them that I assume they are craving the kind of attention they don't think they'll get if they just be themselves. My mind tends to catastrophize though. It jumps to very extreme examples- like the bizarre case of UK Gemma Barker, who faked a male identity to catfish two of her friends. She even sexually assaulted them. It just seems a very callous manipulation of other people's emotions to fulfil their own needs- in the most extreme cases.

Maybe there are others when it isn't so bad. In the documentary: 'The Remarkable Life of Ibelin', a very disabled man lived out a kind of fantasy reality in 'World of Warcraft.' I can understand why some people want to hide who they truly are, what they look like, what they are disabled by because, people can be so judgemental. I think there's a difference though, between concealing certain things and portraying an image to have fun and, deliberately manipulating other people's feelings and perspectives for malicious means.

I tend to be of the feeling that, if a person shows so much callous disrespect for the emotions of others, why should we feel invested in their needs and feelings? I suppose in trying to understand what leads to those behaviours would be good. I'm just more concerned of how destructive it could end up though. So, while the condition as a whole is interesting, I don't feel so much trust for someone who openly admits they are duplicitous.

Personally I trust no one on line and few irl. That makes me more than a little skeptical. There are frankly a lot of threads here that to me are just obvious cries for attention. Also while I understand the distrust of new people am I the only one who distrusts those who've been here for years??? I'm no trying to be mean but there is an end game for those who are suicidal. I find it more than odd that some just linger...... I can't help but ask myself what are they here for?

Is it so bad to be here mostly for the attention? If I don't seek it in an annoying/spammy manner, does it really bother you? We even have a thread label specifically for venting and what is venting actually if not seeking attention?

When I joined here I specifically stated that I've had SI for a long time, but that I've never acted on it and that it's unlikely I ever will. I am lonely though and posting about my problems and getting reactions is nice. I hope that doesn't make me a bad fit for this forum because I like it here.

To anyone who has a problem with that: I understand, feel free to ignore me.
