i hear it all the time “all suicide causes is sadness to the people around you.” why does it have to be about them? why can’t shit be about me for once
I literally cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard someone say this to someone and inside, it kind of makes me upset. It completely misses the point of someone feeling suicidal… Telling someone they’d be making a “dumb decision” or “hurting people” by committing suicide, that helps 0%. Why make it about everyone else when it’s that person feeling suicidal. It’s actually pretty selfish. It basically says “You can’t die because you’d be hurting me,” which kind of forces someone to feel like a bad person for having felt suicidal in the first place. Which I don’t know about you, but that would add more fuel to the fire.
