How would the people you know react if they knew you were on here

[Jack4230]

Personally I think my friends and family would be slightly surprised if they knew I was on here. Obviously they would not be ok with it but they wouldn't be terribly surprised due to my history. I'm curious to see what you all think your friends and family would think if they knew you were on here and were able to see your posts and comments.

My irl friends would certainly be surprised (they think I'm weird but not that kind of weird or that depressed) but that's okay because I dont have to share every aspect of my life with them and we talk about other irl stuff - but if they found out they would still accept me for me, I'm sure.

My mom on the other hand knows I'm in a pro-choice-forum and supports all of my standpoints.
So that's why I can actually talk more openly and don't have to be scared of being doxxed by ft26 or some shit like that.

My best friend would lose her marbles if she found out I use this site. Other friends are more like acquaintances and they'd certainly be surprised but probably wouldn't care much.

I wish my mum was anything like that

 

[apathetic.]

My sister knows. She's cool with it. She has joined herself even before I did because she saw it in my phone lol.

 

[trewer]

They would make me swear to never go on here again. Which is just treating a symptom and not the underlying problem.

 

[Anonymous_A]

I'm smart enough to not include/share personal information on here, so I doubt anyone would be able to know

 

[DunnoWhyButYeah]

I'm pretty sure that one my "friend" know I'm here... I'm no one to him now, so probably that's how he reacts. Hard to say what others might think of me if they know.

 

[yoyowassup35]

Everyone who knows me would be very surprised and my family would be very sad and surprised. No one knows that im suicidal and ive never attempted suicide and never done any self-harm either. So yea my family would be very surprised and try to help me.

 

[KuriGohan&Kamehameha]

All my friends know I tried to ctb because one person let it slip. They wouldn't be shocked.

 

[ClownMe]

The people i work with would probably be shocked because I have to hide my depression from the outside world. As for my family, my little brother would just stay in his room and yell at the xbox, my mum would get into a fight with me about it for about an hour just to piss me off and then tell me to just kill myself already before forgetting about it all shortly after, my dad would probably be too drunk to care to be honest, never even talk to him anyway.

 

[Ardesevent]

I don't think anyone would really care. My dad might be a bit concerned at first, but no one else really even knows I exist at this point.

 

[Pure]

Don't think my friend would be surprised since she knows I'm weird hahaha

I can't imagine my parents' reaction. They'd probably just accept it because they can't control me anymore

 

[Bxbrowler]

Iknowmy mom would flip, ive baught up suicide to a friend quite a few times and he told a family memeber, every time im around myuncle he throughs out these comments stating that he would never commit suicide, it was to happenknowthat someone planned it. but beside that ive learned that if your really serouce about, it keep it to yourself. nothing good can come from a friend or family finding out

 

[Tamz]

Hi all... New here...
I think people would be quite shocked if they knew and I would be watched 24/7 for sure.

 

[FuneralCry]

They would not react well. I keep everything about suicide to myself. They would be surprised. I would probably end up in a psych ward and I would be watched all the time. They would never accept my desire to die, they would want to keep me alive at all costs.

 

[A_miStake_of_NATURE]

Many people know. I don't think they understand what kind of place it is, but they seem not to mind….

 

[deleted]

These fuckers are too busy thinking about themselves to think about me, but it's not like I want their attention either, would probably be shocked because they never noticed anything wrong with me

 

[Nutshell]

My closest know. Some are concerned but all understand that there isn't much out there by way of help and that for me it's a space where I need to have access to.
(I don't tell the name of the site).
I don't tend to surround myself with the sort of people that would be shocked and offended. Actually I've spent my entire life avoiding exactly those sorts of people amongst others.

 

[not-2-b-the-answer]

I've only ever told 1 person.... Didn't go well. We haven't really discussed it in awhile. I think he would still be shocked.
My family would be shocked even more.

 

[Unsurebaker]

My husband found out about this website. He is anti suicide and hates this website. I'm back though because of him. Lol. But fuck him. I used to be part of the chat but recently i have a hard time joining/ being heard so this time I'm sticking to forums.

 

[FriendofDeath]

My mother knows, and Ive even mentioned it to my therapist. My true friends would try to understand. The rest of my family would freak. People I thought were friends when I was really down because of a close relative's suicide. I think they were scared I'd follow, and there were times they were right. They'd take this as more proof and stay as far away as possible.

 

[Bigpink]

I don't know a lot of people, my 2 friends know I'm struggling to some extent but may well be shocked, surprised, concerned that I'm on SS.

 

[anaschariac]

Shocked but not surprised if they know me well enough.

 

[everydayiloveyou]

My family --> Shocked and very angry

My psychiatrist --> Will send me straight to the shitter (psych ward)

 

[WatermelonMel]

Someone knew for 2 years, they did nothing but mention it when I finally told them I was suicidal. Yeah, not much of a "friend"

 

[Aveirah]

they know

 

[FailureGirl]

My close friend knows and she's also on here but we don't follow each other or even know each others user name.
As for everyone else if they knew they would be so "disappointed" and would try to guilt me into not coming on here anymore maybe even try making me delete my account but they don't know and won't be finding out anytime soon when I ctb il get rid of it all anyway.

 

[narval]

LOL, just remembered. I told to my sister that i'm here. Her reaction:
ah, so exists a forum XD? it's not strange you're there. Just don't do that pls. Or at least right here right now (our mother died, we still have things to do and she is moving to other city)

It's one of the few (even the only one) persons who i can tell things like this. It's funny because our regular contact is memes, black humor and bad jokes.

 

[MindFog]

They'll probably get mad for awhile then they'll just forget about it. It's always been like that anyways..

 

[Werewolf.]

Considering people have considered me the happiest person they know, they'd be shocked to hear it's the opposite. What can I say, other than "thank God." I don't want people to know anyway.
