I think a few. I had a conversation with one of them who had reached out to me and it was the most sweetest thing ever. I really miss him, but I'm glad that he's at peace knowing he suffered a lot in this cruel world.

I don't get how anyone is supposed to know if people who visited this site chose to cease existing or not as it isn't like those who have died can come and announce it. And anyway I don't really think it's any of our business if other people who were on here ended their existence, that was their personal decision in which they had every right to make.

You can research this via the search bar by looking for goodbye threads. Quite a few people make them. If they haven't come back, there's a fair chance they were successful. Although of course- we rarely find out for sure.

What does "knowing" someone mean to you?

I'm gonna leave this as it is cause I don't wanna be rude.

Regarding the personal aspect of CTB-ing:
Is this not a place where we discuss precisely this subject? Why is this more tabu than other threads?

Have I said that it wasn't their right?
Have I condemned them in any way?
Have I forced anyone to respond to this thread?

Mind your own business.

I wanted to ask this directly

it isn't like those who have died can come and announce it.

There have been several confirmed cases, either by obituaries, newspapers or other ways.

I was only ever able to verify one person IRL, and that's because in their goodbye post, they provided enough details to where someone could do creative google searching and come up with an actual name for that person who CTB (News).

My first day on sasu, I got a lot of mental help resources and emotional support from someone lovely who CTB'd a few hours later that night. They knew their plan in-depth, and still took the time to help me in my crisis it touched me beyond words and still stays with me, the empathy and compassion we still have for each other, even when we're facing our final moments. I think it's a testament to how beautiful this community, and it's members, are

It definetely is

A fair amount. Of the people I didn't really know Huntfish hit the hardest tho ngl. Of those I did I genuinely feel horrible about.

Never been one to judge those who take their own lives, nor should they feel guilt for those who remain following their passing, but I'd be lying to say it doesn't hurt

I don't think @FuneralCry 's comment was directed in the way you seem to be taking it. I think she was just stating her views, not attacking you. If I'm wrong and she was, she can chime back in and correct me. I guess there is something, or maybe should be something, to letting the dead rest in peace. Just a thought.

I'm seconding what lockednloaded said. I'm fairly certain you misinterpreted their words.

The way I see it, they were simply stating that, in a good amount of cases, it's difficult to actually verify death, with the exception of goodbye threads. The second part is not them attacking your views, but instead trying to bring a point to privacy for those who have chosen to exit this world.

Then again, @FuneralCry can confirm ofc.

For sure. At the same time you're glad they're not suffering anymore

News doesn't always reveal every suicide to prevent people from getting ideas and following, different per country though
