Discussion Anyone else wonder if anyone they know is on this site too?

[february in alaska]

I know the odds are pretty low in the grand scheme of things but I've read threads that immediately make me think of online friends and even one that reminded me a lot of my brother based on their story. Usually I read another post that makes it clear it isn't actually them but it does make me wonder

Obviously I believe everyone makes their own choice about whether or not to live and I would never take that away from someone but it does make me sad. It also makes me just want to be a nicer human in the time I have left. Everyone here has their own story and years of life, and even if we stay anonymous, people here tend to be kinder than most people I meet

I sure hope not because anyone I know from real life who's here would probably just be here to spy on me anyway.

Most people I know are pretty stable, and they most likely haven't delved deep enough into the internet to find this site

Yeah, all the time. Hopefully no one's recognized me from real life, lol.

Except for one my friend who I met on the previous Reddit incarnation , no, I am confident no I know well enough to speak on the question is using this site because I know they're not suicidal. It really highlights to me how aberrant this state is.

I would highly doubt it but I wouldn't be surprised for a few people.

 

[J&L383]

Doubt it, I know so few people. .

I once came across a post on here that I thought was written by my sister, but as I read through the OP's replies, it became clear that it wasn't her.

But really, I hope no one I know/knew has to end up here; being depressed and(/or?) suicidal is a curse that no one should have to live through.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No, save from one online friend, I only have family who know me and they're too pro life to ever bother looking up for a site like this

 

[NekiLik]

I would be terrified if someone I know found me on this site.

Well, maybe it's completely selfish but i would like to have a close friend to be as suicidal as me. To have someone i love to die with. Selfish ?

 

[mortuarymary]

no, I've not seen anyone I know.

 

[FuneralCry]

I don't really know many people in the first place.

I think that's understandable... I had a girlfriend way back in middle school who was just as ready to end it as I was. We had a suicide pact and everything, but we were stupid kids who didn't know how to properly plan or execute something like that, and eventually she found someone else who gave her something to live for. As much of a hypocrite as it makes me, I don't like seeing people I care about want to die. But it also sounds so nice to not have to be alone when you go

I hope you find someone who feels the same way you do and you're able to have that if it's what you want

 

[Leavesfromthevine]

There's probably been at least one person who's came on here to see what I post or at least try to identify me based off of my post. It's fairly easy to identify me based off what I post and definitely since my road trip thread.

 

[Final_Choice]

I have a friend who I wouldn't be surprised to find here, but from what I've asked it seems he doesn't know about this site, at least not yet

 

[hanz]

My ex friend (didn't have a falling out, we just lost contact over the years) ctb about 6 months ago and I sometimes wonder if he used this forum prior. It wouldn't surprise me especially knowing the types of sites he was on years ago.

 

[onbekend]

I have a couple family members who I don't doubt are aware of this sites existence. I get anxious about it sometimes.

 

[wastingpotential]

Nnnnno. nobody i knew now or before is as fucked up as me.
The only person who came close to knowing the existence of this site and of me being on it was my ex best friend, who i admitted to signing up on this site and was waiting for my account to be approved, I just remember him discouraging it strongly and to deactivate my account when it did get approved, which I hadn't done. Obviously
