Ted Bundy (Buddy lol) worked for a crisis hotline. How would you feel being helped by a serial killer who answered the phone?

[Ambivalent1]

"What's your favorite scary movie?" as the opener would be so funny lol

 

[divinemistress36]

I would hope I tempt them to be their next victim

 

[Forever Sleep]

That's the scary thing. You would likely have no clue till it was too late. Psychopaths are very good at blending in. I bet Ted Bundy was an absolute charmer. In fact, they're so good that they sometimes seem to even convince their therapists that they've changed.

Have you read Without Conscience? Its a book about Psychopaths. Lots of anecdotes. Great stuff

No, I'm embarassingly bad at enhancing my knowledge with books.

Rather would prefer to be helped to ctb by a serial killer

 

[sserafim]

Personally I would never call a suicide hotline because I have no reason to. I don't want or need to be helped, and my decision to ctb is final. And what do I gain out of calling? Nothing except being sent to the psych ward or something. However, hopefully I could convince the serial killer to murder me. Then I could finally achieve my goal of leaving this world.

Which one would you pick out of the popular ones from the late 20th century?

I almost called once but I knew they were probably less helpful than your average theRapist.

Almost any of those medical doctors or nurses. They seemed to do it without much suffering

I've talked to strange people before so it might not be too bad.

Those people mainly gauge how much of a threat you are to yourself and whether to call the cops on you after that.

The existence of these hotlines is, at best, for virtue signalling purposes on the part of governments, because suicide prevention has become a cultural obsession in recent years. They help very few people, from what I understand, because all their training is about deciding whether or not to call for police intervention.

They hardly count as serial killers. You get to choose from Bundy, Gacy, Dahmer, the Night Stalker, and Jigsaw.

My friend's mom was about to get in his car but he got spooked and took off. Scary shit...

Shit! Lucky escape there.

idk why but i have a feeling that he would do a better job than normal people.

Agreed, like the proximity to death would make them more understanding and less judgemental- like it would be a normal option for people in their eyes maybe...

 

[hikikomorizombie]

i've always wanted to talk to a serial killer/murderer. lots of things i'm curious abt.

I'm sure you can find a prison pen pal

He would cause he understood human behavior well

Psych major. Even defended himself in court by studying law in prison. The judge reportedly said "He'd make a great lawyer. Too bad he's a killer. Lawyers can't be so overt." lol

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I most likely wouldn't even know that I'm talking to a serial killer. Either way, I don't think I'd ever call the hotline as I don't really want to be gaslighted (badly gaslighted that is) about how life is beautiful for everybody and how I choose to work instead of it being imposed upon me and so forth. Though, after reading some stories, there's a chance that they wouldn't even pick up at all. And of course I don't want to be involuntarily put in a mental hospital either

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Hotlines don't really help at all so I guess it doesn't matter if the other person on the line is a serial killer, or a rapist, or an accountant, or a cowboy, or Keanu Reeves.

 

[TiredOfAllThis]

There are quite a number of them who intentionally killed many patients.

So, for others I would prefer the one who was killing swiftly.

Keanu Reeves on a suicide hotline talking to me would be a dream

 

[LaVieEnRose]

They may not be serial killers but the mental health industry is chock-full of vicious cunts to the point where it's a systemic killers. In a way that kind of evil which I call "mundane depravity" is worse than the outrageous serial killers and mass murderers and the like.

Patrick Bateman (fictional one lol)

 

[SVEN]

Ask him if he did house calls ?

 

[Ashu]

He also saved a little girl from drowning, possibly in the same state park where he killed some of his victims, I don't remember now. Personally, at this point in my life I'm not troubled by such apparent contradictions. People are complex, I judge their karmas one by one.

 

[Captive_Mind515]

I doubt he was the only psycho on such helplines.

I remember the story of an emergency dispatch operator, literally mocking a woman while she drowned in her car during a flood. Nothing really shocks me about our society anymore. Our species is not really as civilised as many people assume. It's a bit of an illusion in many cases.
