Discussion No one ever knows the real pain of those who are gone

[Painless_end]

Thinking about that. No one knows the real depth of pain of whoever has successfully left behind this mortal world by suicide.

People THINK they know when a person still alive or after they're gone, but no one really knows.

No one says, I always knew XYZ would commit suicide because XYZ was in such a hopeless situation.

There is no scientific algorithm that predicts with high accuracy who is likely to commit suicide. They may label certain people as "high suicide risk" but that person may get through.

They might label others as "low suicide risk" and that person might be gone the next day.

That may change with brain–computer interfaces, and this is scary

Yes, this is true. People can only get close to understanding if they have been through similar things themselves, but still nobody will ever really know. I think if people could experience the pain of others, just for a little bit, people will be more compassionate and understanding towards the struggles of others.

It depends.
Things that come to mind are-
A - took his own life because he lost his life savings when investing in dodge.
B- took his own life because his gf left him.

Not everyone who ctb is depressed or struggling with mental health. Sometimes it can literally be done following directly after one specific event.

But your right in the fact that nobody knows. Nobody knows anyone really..dead or alive. It's impossible to interpret somebody's life the same way they see/live it.

I've thought about this so much. No one will ever really know all the things that someone else has been through, all of the things going on in their mind. Even just being told about it isn't the same thing. You can never see something from someone else's eyes. We're all trapped in our own minds, in our own experiences and memories, and we will never have anything else for as long as we are on this earth.

I think its even harder when someone you love is still physically here but mentally lost their minds and cant even recognize themselves. In my mind, its even more difficult. As far as suicide goes, sometimes you can assume people have their shit together but in reality they're just faking it. Not easy to deal with. I cant imagine what the average person is hiding behind their image that they project. I feel nothing but empathy. Even if i cant intellectually understand
