Venting To me it feels like the forum went downhill

[R_N]

I try to give you the benefit of the doubt especially considering the forum we're on, I have no issue with you personally or your worldview, but it seriously drives me up the fucking wall whenever you complain about people not being "suicidal enough" to be here

Talking about how there's too many people "desperate for attention" and too many "bored" people here? Really? Are you fucking kidding me?

Yeah gatekeeping is bad, and I am sure most of us initially came here researching methods to ctb anyway. I know I did back in the day. But I saw this place is more than that soon after and there is nothing wrong with that imo.

Also, isn't everyone here for attention to some extent? FC should understand that with her amount of engagement. Sure maybe she vents more than anything but why vent to others then? Because you want their reaction and that itself is craving of sorts and need for someones attention.

And nothing wrong with that, we are all humans at the end of the day.

Exactly. Same reason I despise the "oh, they're just doing it for attention" response when a kid is self harming or some shit. Like, it doesn't matter whether or not they want attention. Some people do want attention, AKA they want someone to finally see them and sympathize and understand how much pain they're in

Same with people being "too bored". I imagine a lot of us are literally just wasting away in our real lives and this is the only place we can talk to others

Like I don't know if it's dying but it sure feels that way to me especially as lot of the time it doesn't even seem to work these days. But I feel like one of the ways it went downhill is that rather than it being full of suicidal people it seems to be full of bored people desperate for attention, to me it feels like they are begging for attention with how they spam the forum with random things and this just causes all the suffering people's vents to be buried. And yet if you use it to actually vent about your wish to die you just get hated on and insulted for it which is just great, totally makes this place feel like a "safe space", there's so much hypocrisy.

You're not more important than other people on here though, they have just as much right to post as you do, even if it's burying your 20th thread about how much the forum sucks now. You actually share a similar view to pro-lifers in that you think all suicidal people should only act a certain way and vent about life being nothing but suffering and how death is the only answer. No one hates on you because you personally wish to die, it's the way you post saying suicide is "self-care", that anyone who wants to live is delusional and try and suggest people shouldn't EVER try and talk someone out of CTB even if it's a terrible method or will traumatise other people.

Why are you SO invested in what other people do?! It's very odd, and not what the vast majority of people are here for I imagine-which would be to find our own method or get support for our own situation from people who feel similar, and in return to try and support others. You have made it very clear you have no intention of CTB anytime soon because it's simply too hard for you (which is completely fair enough) so you must be here for another reason-but being so invested in what other people do on here to the point you are actively trying to discourage people from being "pro-life" (by your definition but probably no one else's) does raise some questions and possible red flags.

Welp, this thread is gonna get locked pretty soon. Just saying that I was here lmao.

 

[divinemistress36]

I think it's valuable that SaSu has prolific promortalists — certainly helps me & people I know. Too bad the OP took a swipe at people bound to take it personally: "to me it feels like they are begging for attention". Thus predictably unleashing the clusterfuck


As you'd maybe agree, any effective discussion must have defenses against attacks; they're not free-for-alls. For example, religious evangelism's inappropriate for a math forum. Pro-lifer messages are typically inappropriate on suicide subforum — but! — appropriate for recovery subforum. And anyway, prolifers dominate the rest of the internet; they have no shortage of free speech


Guess it's fair to share this opinion, since the the OP alleges people are "begging for attention" — without evidence. (Using a "venting" label doesn't = free ticket)

And since we're all teeing off on each other... :P

Is it just me, or is the Recovery subforum depressing af? Most act clingy to life — no wonder life treats them with such disdain! I must "recover" well enough to act morally & effectively in life — but that place is like Normie School, pumping out NPCs. I post there if I feel I might help OPs, but I feel like a demon walking into a church

Here, at least people interrogate existence to justify the time we waste in it. Asking the right questions imo

The recovery section is more depressing than the suicide forum

Here before the lock.

Bueno, este hilo se cerrará muy pronto. Solo digo que estuve aquí lmao

LMAO

Welp, this thread is gonna get locked pretty soon. Just saying that I was here lmao.

In that case I will say a couple of things that I think
@FuneralCry , most of the posts do not exactly fit the purpose of this forum, it feels like you are trying to pigeonhole people or inject them with your negativity at all costs, ignoring how the user might feel or think, there is only one way and that is this aspect the one that makes many users here disagree with you
The majority of users here do not have to commit suicide once they log in, many people, including me, see this site as a help to move forward or at least bear our burdens, plus others feel that this is the only place where we can fit in.

The problem is that all this time you have behaved as if the forum were pro-suicide, I don't want to offend you in any way, but I think it's good that you think a little about what I just said

 

[WhatPowerIs]

From your mouth to God's ears. The worst and most hypocritical part is the chat, in my opinion. A bunch of people complaining how bad they feel, constantly, somethimes every 10 minutes...... I just cannot take that seriously, I m sorry.
And I m sure that the people who complain the most are not the ones who are gonna kill themselves. They just do it for the sake of complainig.... maybe some kind of hobby, I don't know. Anyway, it is a very annoying development.

What a nonsensical post. You're getting upset that people want to have a space where they can vent freely? Mind your own business.

 

[girlsboysthems]

i usually just ignore their comments and move on. being stuck in that loop is tragic and the more you pay attention to it, the worser it is.

Déjà vu.

This site became too mainstream and pro-life

This site feels like it’s filled with pro-lifers now and feels like it became too mainstream which is why to me it’s not the “safe space” that others like to label it as. Sadly pro-lifers just seem to be everywhere in this society, sadly if you don’t believe in forcing “help” onto suicidal...

Feels like this forum is no different to anywhere else now

This site really has just went downhill, it’s sad how the only place suicidal people have to vent and discuss suicide openly is filled with pro-lifers and insensitive people.

To me it was better when this site only had suicidal people on it

Now it attracts pro-lifers and people with toxic positivity pushing the idea of “help”, I’m sorry but other people’s wish to die is absolutely nothing to do with you, like if you love something so cruel and futile as existence so much then just go and enjoy it. People come here to escape from...

I feel like this forum became too mainstream

Feels like this site is going downhill recently

The forum is dead now which just makes me want to ctb even more

I just wanted to say thank you for deleting and destroying the forum, the site is useless and dead now. I spent a lot of time venting on the forum but now it’s all gone. I thought this was a place for suicidal people to vent but I guess not anymore, it’s all dead and deleted, I bet having this...

Main forum has felt like it’s changed a lot.

[LifeIsCrazyNemb]

I'm saying it just for fun, please don't take it seriously but I think @FuneralCry is an AI created by mods to spark up some controversial topics

A proof that this is the case is that this user never replies back...lol she just vent the same repettive message and then disapears and write a new thread. infinite loop, an AI created to annoy people lol

 

[Loserhero]

I don't know how any of you genuinely engage with @FuneralCry all of her posts are just copy and paste she's just trying to increase post count. I lurk this place daily there is alot more low effort posts than 3-4 months ago though.

Exactly my thoughts. I've never seen her writing a response to an argument or just in general never past the first message lol

 

[Captive_Mind515]

The recovery section is more depressing than the suicide forum

I'm gonna waltz on over to the recovery section, and inform them that they're being too positive about life… stop promoting living in such an obviously biased manner! Don't you know we're "pro-choice" around here!? Have some respect for other people's views!

Is possible that FC does not exist and is an invention of the government

 

[breezeboy]

Goddamn.. feel like I just witnessed a verbal murder.

Buried the body and pissed on the grave type murder

Well yeah, all the users you originally made friends with have either CTB or recovered and left lol

And yet if you use it to actually vent about your wish to die you just get hated on and insulted for it which is just great, totally makes this place feel like a "safe space", there's so much hypocrisy.

And another way it's went downhill is how now it's a place for deluded pro-lifers to post about how mentally ill all suicidal people are, and it's sad how this place became so pro-life but anyway whatever, those who hate on suicidal people who vent really are so arrogant, I know they only do it just to feel better about themselves, I can tell that some people really love trying to make others feel bad.

Many of us literally want to die we certainly don't want to be lectured by hostile pro-lifers or be given so called "advice" that is just delusional and invalidates suffering, honestly it's just so cringe when they do that. I wish this place only was for those who want to die, bored people and pro-lifers should just go and enjoy their wonderful, precious life and leave those who suffer alone. So yes, this site really did became too mainstream and if often reminds me of how I cannot stand this human species, humans are such a disgusting species and it's tragic how they haven't gone voluntarily extinct yet, in fact it's tragic how life even exists at all, no matter what only non-existence could ever be desirable.

Considering it's been 4 years and you have 32k posts. I don't want to be mean, but it is hypocritical to call others bored and attention seeking.

You want to die, but that's a feeling. It's not based on a logic. You're still here in the forums after 4 years. Have you considered that it's not logical without having spent at least $20k out of pocket (a rounded minimum actuarial value) on your mental health before suiciding. There's quite literally nothing lost.

use the ignore button for people that cause you problems/make you uncomfortable. not everyone here is that way and i hope it doesnt make you not want to interact (although id completely understand if it did, not this specific person/type of thing but similar has caused me to make less of my own threads)

what is ok to ask

as far as whats ok to ask just follow the rules and you shouldnt have a problem

Welcome to Limbo. Ask forgiveness not permission. Just looked at your messages, that feeling like there's a hole and some part of you is missing and don't have a reason, that's depression. If it's been around for longer than 2yrs it's dysthymia. Both are usually treatable.

I have a shopping list of mental health problems. All of which are struggling to be properly treated. It's one of the major reasons I've ended up here
