You know......all that suicide prevention/reach out stuff is utter fucking bullshit considering some people in this world. The fact is, half of you wouldn't know when someone is in crisis. And the reason you probably wouldn't know is because you've shut that person down. Not intentionally. But by sheer virtue of talking about 'being an adult', 'dealing with your own problems', by not observing, not paying attention. Half of you wouldn't know a cry for help if it bit you in the ass. Yeah, we all have problems. But we're social creatures that have been stonewalled into being 'independent' and told not to bother people with trivial things even when sometimes those fucking things add up to hitting a threshold. Yeah, all that talk about thresholds, people have 'em too. And sometimes they're inward, not outward, actions. The lies we fucking tell ourselves to try and keep going, to push on....so tell me, fucking tell me at what point does living for everyone else's benefit become martyrdom. Tell me why it's everyone else's right to tell you to keep living so they don't feel guilty?
We have to be good little adults and solider onward so no one feels bad even though sometimes, people get tired.
You don't ask what someone means, you don't ask to elaborate, you don't ask them what's wrong, no......it's better to fucking point fingers, accuse them of your own blasted interpretations, and just get on with it.
There's a fuck ton of reasons people take their own lives folks, and if you opened your eyes, you could see those variety of reasons. And maybe you'd actually understand.
