"I hope you find peace in whatever you decide to do"

[Feeding Pigeons]

If someone is asking for specific advice I wouldn't write that and only that, that would be silly and unhelpful. However, if someone is saying they're going to CTB, I don't know what else you can really respond with. I wish them luck in either case, as in either they find a reason to live or successfully die, because one of the other options is the person being permanently brain damaged.

Because of my own experiences, the last thing I'd want to hear is someone tell me "You have so much to live for" etc. I say to people "good luck" because it respects whatever choice they make and acknowledges what they said.

A lot of valid takes in this thread. It made me realize as suicidal as I've been in my life, I don't know what I wanted anyone to say to me. I don't know what someone suicidal would want said to them.

I don't think everyone in the suicide discussion forum has given up. I think there are people who are not ready to CTB for different reasons, but are incredibly depressed and use that as a space to to share their thoughts and problems.

If there were a sub forum strictly for venting and discussions about mental health struggles, which I really think there should be, it'd probably be just as active.

I thought that was the separation between the forums was. The discussion forum for those who are more sure in their decision, the recovery forum for those still fighting, and the offtopic forum for those more passively waiting for the day their ticket gets punched.

"I hope you find peace in whatever you decide to do"
is the most retarded shit we've kept seeing on the forum.

Don't agree with that. I think it's fine but I agree one should add a line or two of something personal to make the response seem more genuine.

 

[GentleJerk]

Might be a deliberate theme, a familiar face that's a mysterious part of how the forum works? "The SS experience." Or just someone who has the time to repeat the same thing 10,000 times over and always comment on nearly every post.

How many of you could be that consistent? Certainly not me, I was generous with posts in the beginning and always supportive, but there's only so much interest I can keep, and my answers and comments also vary greatly because I'm a human being with moderate mood swings. Members, especially new ones, don't always get the same treatment from me. The experience people get on this forum remains fairly consistent for some reason, yet the input a lot of us have on different posts can vary dramatically...

It's like Weebster, like him or not, if he didn't create 1000's of random threads asking odd questions to get conversations started, wouldn't it mostly be the same "will partial hanging while drinking 1L soy sauce mixed with SN kill me?" type thing over and over?

Either way it's empty platitudes, but that might actually be all it takes to make some people feel understood and comforted. Whatever happens, I wish you the best.

I regret reading this thread. I remember the days when I used to find this website comforting. Not anymore.

This thread is absolutely disgusting! If you like to gossip there are other websites to visit.

Don't someone's criticism deter you from doing your thing. Your words are appreciated. Keep doing as you just.

 

[Arrow]

maybe it seems like a bit of a meaningless statement, but what else is there to be said? if someone's ready to go i hope there's some peace to be found in that choice. if they change their mind then i hope there's peace in their future. i wouldn't just demand that they live or die because i understand what they are going through.

 

[Shepherd's boy]

I'm sorry, guys, but this place is actually bastion of sad suicidal fellas, isn't it. We are all suffering, someone less, someone more. It doesn't matter. Are you really expecting here some kind of therapeutic attitude from everyone? People who write such things just don't have power to write something inspirational, but they try their best. Be nice.

SS in a nutshell!!

This post just comes off as bitter and cringy. I kinda agree about how it's (unintentionally) encouraging suicide but your depiction of the people who say this isn't even remotely accurate. They're not just using it as a mindless "thoughts and prayers" usually they're a genuine attempt to comfort someone who is in the depths of despair, and the sentiment often follows the person actually attempting to talk to whoever they're saying it to. People dying alone without acknowledgement or comfort is a horrific thing, and saying this is at least letting someone know that their pain is seen, that they are heard and that someone cares about what happens to them

 

[Shu]

Most people in the "suicide discussion" section already gave up and don't want "help". I'm not sure what you think discussing the poster's real life issues is suppose to accomplish when they are firm on their decision to CTB?

I don't think everyone has given up but after spending every second of your day here you're probably more likely to give up I feel.

This is an important point. Having zero responses to an expression of grief would surely be the most depressing possible outcome.

When it comes to 'a certain member', she has no intention to hurt anyone and I view her posts as a legitimate contribution to the backbone of the site as a place of nonjudgmental understanding for dark emotional states. Users like myself tend to avoid posting unless our response is able to meet a certain threshold of constructive substance, but the site as a whole benefits from an ecosystem including all types of well-intentioned contributors.

Certain psychological ailments can make people repetitive in behaviour or limited in emotional breadth. There's no need for gang-bashing a harmless young lady who is already suffering.

 

[odradek]

It is a bit generic but I think some people do mean well. There aren't great alternatives and peace doesn't always imply death. This is a dark place for those of us seriously grappling with suicide and sometimes a generic reply is enough. I speak from experience. I'm not bothered by it personally. We all have different experiences so opinions may differ. That's pretty generic too... My bad.

A what thread? (already regretting asking this)

 

[Brick In The Wall]

"I hope you find peace in whatever you decide to do"
is the most retarded shit we've kept seeing on the forum.

Those NPCs have no brain do they, they just repeat the same shit over and over again, it's the opposite of pro-lifers but equally retarded.

It's unoriginal and half hearted at best but I don't see any maliciousness in it. There's not much one can say that hasn't been said already and there's not much, if any, help one can provide someone in our situation. Ultimately I suppose it's better than no responses at all in a given thread.

 

[rationaltake]

Yes. Well might you regret it. Ken and Barbie it is not.

Chad and Stacy are terms used on the incel site to refer to super good looking (according to incel standards) men and women. The Chads bag all the Staceys.

Those terms are derogatory in the same way as racist and misogynistic terms.

Resentment towards the Chads and Stacys leads to open admiration of Elliott Rodgers. People on the incel site talk of doing an ER.

Apologies if you know all this already.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I've used this response before but I admit I couldn't really think of anything else to say. In my case, the intent with it isn't really to encourage people but simply to express remorse for being unable to actually do anything that would help the person without forcing upon them some other horrible cliche like "it will get better!" or something like that.

I've become kind of familiar but only via this site, the last time l got embroiled in an incel discussion at length it was a very interesting and illuminating experience regarding this website as a whole tbh.

I think I know what you mean.

I've been on the incel website. The incel wiki has some interesting entries.

I'm usually so inert I don't engage much. Always worth reading your posts.

 

[Nolan96]

I don't use this expression, since the chances of someone who's deeply suicidal finding true peace in this dog-eat-dog world are realistically not that high.

It's always felt a little bit like saying "I hope you kill yourself rather than choose to keep fighting and finding as much fulfillment as you can in life despite its difficulties."

I'm fully aware that that's not the intended message of the majority of the people who write this though, and I don't mean to judge them.
