Is it normal i do not care about suicidal people anymore

I do not care about suicidal people anymore. Before I would try and argue with them for hours but it seems some do not want to be saved. After the initial "Yeah but no" I just say "Okay, your choice than. Have fun in heaven". I also have wanted to die a few times but I am poor as fuck and starving too death half the time since I am not allowed to cook in the place I pay rent for. I have been struggling with substance abuse, which I taken to distract from the pain and hunger and psychological stress of not being able to eat and being told how disgusting and fat I am for trying even to eat once a day. The substances always make me calm and I forget I need food a lot of times. I know I might simply die of hunger at some piont but I keep going. I not sure why these idiots with basic needs being met are bitching.

    Maybe suicidal people are just trans-dead.

    You raise a common issue.

    It's very hard - and takes a lot of energy - to care for people who do not care for themselves; and burnout is very common.

    While I like to assist people; I also long ago learned there is a limit into how much personal energy and other resources I can put into them - otherwise it drags me down towards their level.

    It's a dilemma; and I do understand why you don't care like you used too.

    I suggest that you focus on people with lessor issues in life. It's likely you can assist people there. Look for a cause or issue that you support.

    I wish you well with this,

    If you’re arguing the point with them for hours then they aren’t suicidal, just attention seeking.

    People who want to do it will just quietly haul off and do it, usually to everyone’s complete surprise.

  • Their suicidal tendencies are not your problem, simply tell them to see a shrink/psychologist.

    Ouch yes that’s true man. It’s a similar syndrome to people’s false sex crime accusations, they make it harder for actual victims with their bullshit.

    It becomes the crying of wolf.

        You do you, but remember suicide kills many people.

        To some extent I do agree that its harder to care as there's people who fake self-harming.

        • You are stating the obvious. Seriously though if someone's that insistant though why stop them. Honestly if someone was just that sad they would be receptive to "please don't". Also as someone who has almost died 7 times and am struggling to not be in the streets I seriously can not care as much as I use to.

    After thinking about it a lot, i decided that it is the work of natural selection and i should not get involved in the process.

    I agree, most of the time they are just whiny and don’t realise how lucky and privileged they actually are. Most of them aren’t even actually suicidal, they just want attention.

    I know this sounds cold, but most of them just want attention; not that isn't a serious cry for help, but I think the average successful suicide rate for women of my age group is something like 1/350 compared to 1/4 for 60 year old males. You ever hear a 60 year old man who wants to be talked out of it? Most people who genuinely want to off themselves don't want talking out of it.

      Exactly. One of my uncle's committed suicide. Waljed out in the forest and if I recall right drank a bunch of stuff. Wasn't found for awhile. No one saw it coming he just did it.

    I dont know why anyone ever cared. Like ok bruh if life is that bad for you then do it. Realistically though those who actuslly want to do it just do it they don't stop to talk about it. I dont have time for attention seekers

    So have I.

    That’s what I mean. Usually there aren’t a lot of obvious signs and they don’t sit there and argue about it with people if they’re serious.

    As someone who is actively involved in a suicide pact - people who are serious about attempting suicide don’t tell anyone, at least not people they know irl. The last thing an actual suicidal person wants is to be stopped. You’re not their therapist, it’s not your responsibility to talk people out of it. As long as you’re not encouraging anyone to do it you’re not to blame.

    "Okay, your choice than. Have fun in heaven"

    Why would you say that? People who commit suicide are far less likely to go to Heaven than those who don't. I'm not saying whether they do go to Heaven or not, but ending one's life in a state of mortal sin is not a good way to ensure one goes to Heaven.

      Deppression is an ILLNESS. You cant just *not* be suicidial, it takes time and help. Telling poeple that will just make them panic, and you dont even know their religion.

        That doesn't make it any less true. Telling someone the truth that committing suicide would likely have a terrible consequence far worse than whatever they may be experiencing now is a good thing. If one knows the terrible consequences of such an action, they would be far less likely to participate in it, would they not?
