I feel much more comfortable around fellow broken people than I do around people who "have it together".. I see a bit of myself in every poster on here, people who have given up, people who are just simply tired of living... I always wanted to blow my head off with a shotgun, but now I know that I would somehow even fuck that up and end up surviving.. I have accepted the fact that I will never have the guts to ctb.. I am a complete failure in everything, including ending my life
First of all it is great that this forum gives you some level of comfort, it is definitely soothing to be able to express yourself truly without the fear of persecution.
You are allowed to speak for yourself, but not everyone else in this community would consider themselves broken. In fact, judging from some of the posts by other users, many of them come across as functional people who were brought here because of severe mistreatment from others, so if anything it is the abusers and the environments that they live in which are "broken" - not them. Perhaps that is wrong of me to say, and maybe some of us are damaged to an extent, but being damaged does not mean broken. It can be difficult to tell either way without truly knowing somebody personally.
Also no one really "has it together"; they may act like they do, but they do not. Life in general has no set standard(s) or rule book, and there is no end objective - at least from a philosophical perspective. I think that the majority of people, both suicidal and non-suicidal, try to simply go along and live life, while putting on a face, but deep down none of us really have any idea of what to do or what is happening - it could all be random chance.
