When I went on Sanctioned Suicide I thought that I would find like minded individuals who heard my story but instead it is just the same crap as every other platform. I am constantly shut out by everyone - no one can connect to me no one at all; they just shut me out because I am pathetic and nothing. They promised me a community but it's not that at all - it is an echo chamber of misery, which yes thats what this site is for. It is for you to share thoughts on suicide that you otherwise would not be able to, but they trick you with lies of a community. There is no community, it is just a forum made up of islands owned by individuals with their own strugglea that will never feel anyone connect to their story. You will get passbyers that perhaps react with a heart or hug or a thumbs up (hate this one) and maybe a useless comment but that's it. I have never been able to hold friendships anywhere, not even on here. I am just not here for anyone I suppose and no one wants me. I am a boring piece of crap; no one wants me here. They offer to message you but they never get back to me. Only after 10 hours they get back to me and give a 2 sentence reponse. It's they don't care. Why would they? am not worth anyone's time. Do not even reply to this post honestly don't even bother. I will disappoint you and I will disappoint myself. I am a waste of space in all communities I go to, even this one. No one cares about me. All I wanted was a friend that would listen and not abandon me but obviously I do not deserve that and guys do not even bother messaging me; I will not want to be burned again and I've already seen enough. I only want this site for a method and I have mine already it's just a matter of planning it at this point and gathering the resources needed. But even that part is going to take awhile, so I have to suffer in limbo for who knows how long.
My dear buddy.. I'm sure we have crossed paths before, I would like to share my experience with you.. i became active recently in the first week of august. I started interacting, posting and I have become friends with so many of the kind members. However, I can understand one thing, where you have mentioned that people respond after hours that too with a one or two liner.
The delay is probably because, most ppl log out of the site and visit it after several hours and they are also one of us who started lurking on the site to find a method, then made an account but shy away from interacting..
This community is full of loving people who genuinely care and are in the same boat as you and me. Some people are extrovert, some are introvert, some don't know how to express their emotions, some are not so good at communication or connecting with others.
My suggestion to you is, hang on, post your thoughts often, people who resonate with your thoughts will come up, some may dm you. I got couple of good friends who are now connected outside of this site as well. I'm sure if I can make amazing friends, you can too. Sometimes may be post your thoughts on other's posts. Initiate an interaction from your end to someone you resonate with. Introduce yourself, share your pain and they'll understand and they'll probably share theirs. Sometimes you'll have a good laugh with them.
My dms are open if you would like to connect with me.
P.s. I'm likely to ctb next week if all goes as per plan, but the many challenges in its way make me doubt if i can pull it off successfully. I'm scared af.
I'm sorry you feel that way about here~ :( I think it's mentioned somewhere, but a lot of the people here are depressed, meaning that it is more difficult for them to make responses and maintain active discussion~ unfortunately, I too have difficulties with making friends~ >_< not to mention all the working and studying means that I'm hampered as to how quick I can make responses (usually on Sundays)~ >_< I hope you can make friends~ :( I hope I can too~ >_< I do think people do make connections and friendships here, altho it's not as often as one would like~ >_< I feel like that's been a recent shift unfortunately, whereas it used to be easier in that regard~ >~<
it'd be really neat if people could come over and talk to us~ >_<
You are right, i also feel the engagement has decreased significantly. There are less active people on this site than ever before. May be it's a good thing that less ppl wanna ctb. I can see 3000+ guest users whenever i login.
However yes, let's make it as interactive as possible. I try to comment on every post from my side. I have seen your kind and caring comments on many posts as well
