Do people irl know you’re here?

[Wishing2di3]

Does anyone in your real life know you visit this site? No one in my life does and it's always going to stay that way

 

[SenseOfLoss]

nope

 

[AbsurdCapybara]

My husband does but he doesn't care. lol

 

[Henryk]

if they knew, i would be admitted to a clinic

 

[UKscotty]

Once people know we become a burden and they will try their best to distance themselves.

 

[Wishing2di3]

if they knew, i would be admitted to a clinic

Same. When I was admitted I kept silent about a lot including this site. I'm not trying to fan the flames for those pro life fuckers

My husband does but he doesn't care. lol

My husband would ask in an obviously annoyed (and judgemental) voice "you don't need to go inpatient do you!?"

 

[HerculePoirot]

Nope. Not even my telco operator.

 

[SexyIncél]

Pretty much everyone close to me knows I'm here. Because life's too short to be close to tattletale buffoons

I stopped being friends with people who couldn't handle such silly tiny things. Looking back on those ex-friends, they were weird in others ways too. Probably not a coincidence

 

[アホペンギン]

My parents, my cousin and my sister know. Each of them figured out at different times so there weren't any problems, really. None of them know that anyone else knows I'm on here and I doubt they care that I'm on here anyways.

 

[Sapphire]

Two of my relatives know that I come on here. I told them. They don't have a problem with me being on here.

I told my friend about this site and then she told me she's here a lot and before me

 

[isthisit?]

No one I know irl even has a clue that I'm suicidal.

 

[cats333]

sometimes i consider sharing it with people i know but then i remember that they wouldn't understand, so no one knows

 

[FuneralCry]

No and I think it's a terrible idea opening up about wanting to die in general, it would be pointless and very likely just make existing even worse as after all there is a lack of acceptance towards the right to die in this society that is so disgustingly anti-suicide.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

No. It's better when nobody knows it. They wouldn't understand it anyway.

 

[Anna.]

no, I've been told that people who say they want to die will never say it, and that if you say it, you're attention seeking.

 

[[redacted]]

No, but I have fantasized about leave the tab open "on accident"

 

[Ligottian]

No.

 

[caraphernelia]

one of my closest friends was the one who told me about this site, she's the only one who knows

 

[day]

I have a friend who is regularly around me and he seen it on my laptop one day. He expressed his distaste of the site and said he'd never look again lol.

 

[RichardFirst]

Meeting people online contributed to my desire to CTB. I'm a hermit these days.

 

[SolomonKado]

Does anyone in your real life know you visit this site? No one in my life does and it's always going to stay that way

Not to my knowledge. Unless they are hiding it. I wouldn't want to give people a reason to judge me knowing the normal consensus is "Pro Life."

 

[Duality]

No one knows, and I will never tell them. I have learned early on that getting 'caught' will make it worse for you, and who knows if your best friend will stab you in the back.

I'd also recommend everyone to not tell anyone in real life that they come here, and to do their best to really hide the fact that they come here if they live with someone else. A glance over your shoulder, a friend borrowing your phone, etc. could lead to a disaster.

 

[aetherless]

I planned to keep it a secret, but I told my best friend one drunken night and I made him cry... Never will I tell anyone again.

 

[cosifantutti]

My husband knows I come on here. I've told him (quite truthfully) that seeing suicide as an option makes it easier to live with my mental illness. He is fine about it.

 

[Larysa]

In desperation I told a relative. They couldn't have given a fuck.

 

[Stormy Raine]

My best friend knows I'm here and I highly suggested the site to her. She isn't suicidal anymore she says but I think she could benefit from the recovery section but she said no she doesn't want no parts of it. So I asked why are you still suicidal? She responded no, but if she dies her family won't get anything because they will find this site so I guess she's suicidal because that answer is ridiculous lol

 

[wristcutangel]

nobody, and hopefully stays that way.

 

[CTBookOfLife]

Funnily enough? My mom.

She doesn't know my profile (thank fuck for that), but she's aware I go here. I've told her how it's helped me.

 

[swaraj]

Yes. Two people do. They are mostly pro-choice. I never took the name of SS but I have talked a lot about a forum I visit and find solidarity in, about suicide. Have shared cropped screenshots from SS to discuss many things. And they are smart reasonable people. So I guess they have googled and found the site.
