  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

    This is a clear and unprecedented overreach by a foreign regulator against a U.S.-based platform. We reject this interference and will be defending the site’s existence and mission.

    In addition to our public response, we are currently seeking legal representation to ensure the best possible defense in this matter. If you are a lawyer or know of one who may be able to assist, please contact us at [email protected].

Its a huge part of anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. This is how the mind plays tricks. I am exactly the same.

I have my wife's family coming tomorrow for xmas day and I think they all hate me, but yet they have all spent loads on presents for me!

I literally don't have any more relationships. I speak to my dad but that is it. Fuck people. I'm probably going to break down completely in the next year. If I don't ctb first. I don't leave my apartment

I think society has evolved this way over the last ten years or so. With the greater rise of social media platforms, you can now reach thousands with a post or a tweet. This of course had tremendous potential to advance humanity, but has instead conditioned us to seek validation or feel worthless and ignored.
Just my thoughts anyway. I am sorry you feel that way, I can relate.

I feel that most normal people are given massive amounts of validation on a daily basis without really appreciating it. There's no telling what would happen to them if they suddenly lost their families, jobs, etc. and ended up in this state. It probably wouldn't be pretty.

I have this issue too and it severely impacts me. It has been a large factor in me turning towards long term isolation to cope. In my case, its a symptom that coincides with several diagnoses I've been given by doctors. It's been pretty severe for me in correlation with the degree of struggle that I face at any given time. I recall lots of extended periods where I genuinely believed that everyone wanted me dead and just despised me. I don't know if you relate to the way I personally experience it but yeah, it absolutely sucks.

i dont hate you my friend, we dont know eachother know but i am sure you have plenty to offer, like most comments here i too am a social recluse, it is safer and less aggro, getting on for 4 years or so now i seldom leave the house, other people are a drain and a source of frustration i hear you, and to the other poster indeed FUCK people, but this community can be supportive, i feel the need for constant reassurance and validation though stems from this social media age, it is bad for us, it puts our self worth in others hands when it is US who defines that, our inner selves create our own validation it has always been that way, social media changed that game, moved the goal posts so to speak, and is wreaking havoc in society, that we are only just beginning to comprehend, it is like the tech was there before we realised the societal impacts it would have, changing how we are conditioned slowly but surely, it is why i just recently deleted social media, you seem a nice person, i know we dont know each other but your valuable just as you are friend, and dont let anybody ever tell you otherwise, your loved here and always welcome, take care ok, from a stranger to another, much peace and blessings to you

I totally agree with your assessment. I quit Facebook in 2020, and only use Twitter but barely, because I am a leftist and therefore shadowbanned permanently by Dumbass.

You're not alone. Everyone hates me to the point where if I try to reach out just to escape loneliness I get ignored. Had friendships for a few years at a time before my use runs out. Could be the aura I have or the hex that's been damning me since my birth existence. Some days are better than others. I learned to accept that I'm alone, hated, un loved and not wanted. The is fate and can't disagree with it.

That's a really good point. And sometimes when people aren't given validation as children they end up as adults who feel they don't deserve validation.
