So people don't go around talking about that in their circles?Where I live in Britain I only hear of the "big names" covered by the main MSM. Sometimes our local paper will mention the sudden death of a locally well known person, just mentioning that there are no suspicious circumstances. By and large suicides don't get mentioned.
They may do, however it doesn't tend to be a subject of local gossip. So, if you were in a social club or darts club etc, I'm sure it would be mentioned if a member ctb. However the subject wouldn't be general in the town.So people don't go around talking about that in their circles?
It's common? Where I live I rarely heard of it that's why I assumed it's a rare occurrence and people rarely end their lives/I feel im alone in thisVery rare, people don't tend to talk about it, I guess, even though it's common. Somehow, I think people are aligned with the Werther theory*, which assumes that talking about suicide leads others to do the same, like a mirror behaviour.
* Werther theory is linked to the book "The sufferings of young Werther", written by Goethe
I guess it's a matter of perspective.common
Three people over the past five years: a renter in a house owned by a friend; the stepdaughter of that same friend in his house (OD on oxy, not deemed a suicide but that's what I suspect); and a friend of that same friend. (Maybe I shouldn't be friends with this guy?!How often do you hear of suicide (someone ctbed) where you live?

One of the prevention strategies is to make suicide methods seem extremely difficult to achieve, very painful, or frightening. This is particularly evident in online searches, where pain, complications, and potential errors that could lead to permanent injuries rather than death are heavily emphasized. Frequently discussing survival instincts or mechanisms that could interfere with the process reinforces fear, which acts as a powerful deterrent.
