Venting One of my classmates saw my wrist cut, grabbed my hand, and said, "Look who tried to commit suicide!" in front of my(/his) "friend" group

[Sylveon]

It wasn't in bad faith or anything like that; it was just meant in a jokey kind of way, but I swear to God, I just can't stop thinking about it. Like... it wasn't even supposed to be a suicide attempt or anything, but still... like, IDK what to say and IDK why I'm even making this post. I don't wanna show my face to them tomorrow, but I'll have to anyway.

And if the title sounds hillarious to you, that's because it is; laugh at me all you want. I deserve it anyway.

Oh, and "friends" is in brackets because they aren't really my friends (gosh, I feel terrible for saying this), just some people I've been sitting around with for the past few months.

I actually had a long ass vent about all this in my mind, but I just... couldn't be bothered. That's why the tone sucks, if you were wondering.

No, I don't find this funny and more importantly, you didn't deserve that. If possible, I'd try to sit as far away from them as possible next time. Or, you could tell them how much it hurt you (knowing humans, there's a fair chance they could be total assholes about it and brush you off)

Sorry that happened to you, OP.

Sorry that happened and I'm glad you don't consider them actual friends. A real friend wouldn't do that. Don't degrade yourself by sitting with these clowns. Try to make other friends that will actually appreciate you

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I think it's horribly insensitive of someone to point that out and make a remark like that one. Try not to let it weigh on you too much— if the other friends are worth having, they should know that was a shitty comment to make, too.

Hugs

This is a terrible way to treat you. Maybe he was just being an idiot and not thinking but yeah- of course you feel humilated by it. I'm sorry you'd ended up with insensitive people around you.

I don't know how old he is but I think he will quickly move on to something else if he doesn't find something to say, and young people often like to tease each other. If I were you I would have answered "Yes, I wanted to kill myself when I saw your face" in the same tone.
It's a bitter and sometimes guilt-inducing feeling that lingers in mouth for a long time, but tell yourself that (often) people move on quickly to other things and that times change, don't put too much pressure on yourself for something that will probably not have major impact.

I'm no stranger to joking about suicide and the like. (Hell, I do it myself to cope.) However, that's just public humiliation.

Who does he even think he is? If he thinks he's a friend, then his perception must be incredibly warped if being a person's friend allows him to publicly display your self-harm scars/injuries. It's not his place to "out" you for self-harm, if that makes sense.

And if the title sounds hillarious to you, that's because it is; laugh at me all you want. I deserve it anyway.

I fail to see how you deserved some random idiot exposing your self-harm because you didn't deserve that at all.

If there's anything you don't deserve, it's a "friend" group as bad as that. Real friends don't do inconsiderate—and, quite frankly, rude—stuff like that, and you deserve better.

"friends" is in brackets because they aren't really my friends (gosh, I feel terrible for saying this)

Don't feel bad for calling those idiots "friends" instead of friends. As mentioned earlier (and by other people), real friends don't do things like that.

Pardon my language, but those assholes don't deserve to be your friend if they can't even be considerate enough to respect your privacy concerning your self-harm injury. A rock would be a better friend than them.

I'm sorry that this happened to you, OP.

You didn't deserve to have your inner struggles draped on display. Fuck those bastards. School is rough, and I'm honestly glad I'm done with it. Wish you the best.

It didn't happen in school actually; it's like... I graduated school almost half a year ago but failed my college entrances, so I'm attending these "extra classes" basically.

But yeah, it isn't that different from school except that there is a hyperemphasis on just three subjects and that it's just way more depressing in general...

Thanks for your kind words, though.
