Is it normal i want to punch suicidal people in the face?

Is it normal I want to punch suicidal people in the face? When I was younger I use to care more and try to convince them not to. Now when I hear it I just want to punch them the hell out. Is something wrong with me for feeling this way?

    I think you are probably lacking some crucial empathy at this point in your life.

    So I think suicide is a choice it may not be your choice but it's how that person at the time feels. If you don't understand mental illness then this doesn't make sense to you, as much as your pleading and anger towards someone that's suicidal won't make sense to them.

    Depression is like being locked up inside yourself, there is no door and it doesn't feel like you'll ever get outside that room. Those thoughts just keep circling you with no where else to go. Lashing out at someone whose already suicidal would only justify those thoughts. It's not in an act of selfishness when someone commits suicide, it's hopelessness.

    • I can understand them but its annoying hearing this shit all the time and than these people not fucking listening to you when you tell them not to. If I punched them they would be distracted long enough to realize its not worth it.

    No. That means you're a violent jerk. Check my profile and click on the comment I made on "IIN that I wish Justin Beiber died instead of Robin Williams". You'll get my answer there.

    Instead of punching them, why not get them some help? I was suicidal for quite some time and if someone told me they wanted to punch me, chances are you'd've made me felt a lot worse than I already did.

    Yeah, some suicidal individuals can be frustratingly hopeless ...but wanting to resort to violence is an extreme reaction. Get some help for that.

    You are an asshole. The last thing a suicidal person needs is to be punched. You fucking idiot. Too bad you are not suicidal I would give you a punch that would knock you silly and one for the gypsysailor too.

    Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It is tragic when a good person commits suicide. But it is a relief when a bad person, like a serial killer does.

    The problem of suicide has only one solution.

    We should offer free euthanasia at the drive-through at McDonalds. That way, suicide will take place in a safe environment, more suicidal people will feel encouraged to finally do it without having to worry about the chances of survival and whatnot...

    Thus reducing the number of annoying whiny suicidal people.

    Rejecting suicide assistance isn't going to make suicidal people less suicidal. They will try it on their own, and maybe kill or traumatize someone else in the process. We need professionals to do this job.

          Nope, I did mean my life. Those tards would do a shitty job and fuck me up for life.

    • Generally suicide is done by good people and its really disappointing to have these people want to kill themselves.

        I can only repeat my last paragraph. Rejecting suicide assistance isn't going to make suicidal people less suicidal. They will try it on their own, and maybe kill or traumatize someone else in the process.

    Don't do it! That's what they want!

  • I feel the exact same way. I don't care who thinks I lack empathy or sympathy or sensitivity, but I feel like suicidal people are the most selfish, whiney bastards ever. A couple years after I left primary school the deputy headmaster of the school hung himself in the school's garage and a first grader found him. Aparantly he had debt, and now his wife and children are around to face his debt without his help, hell, without him even being alive. When I was 7 I woke up to a house full of blood and a crying, dying uncle who decided to slit his wrists in the bath. He bitched out half way through and dragged his bloody self through the house into the living room and started crying for help. The house was full of his blood, so much of it that he had to have several blood transfusions in hospital. The bathroom, passage way, kitchen, dining room and living room full of blood and piecesof flesh. Who picked up the pieces? The family. Who payed the medical bills? The family. Suicidal people disgust me.

        Actually, you really can. Call 1-800-SUICIDE. Or go to http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/.

        If the person is really suicidal, please seriously do that for them and get them some help.

        Punch them later after they recover though, by all means.

    I'm intelligent enough to know that they cannot help how they are feeling. But I still believe that you alone hold the key to your happiness.
    Sure, you are feeling depressed and suicidal but go get HELP, therapy, medications, anything is better than sticking to the same dark downward spiral of self loathing that wont get you anywhere.

    I sadly attract depressed or otherwise wounded people and most of my friends have at least one issue. Some deal with their issues in a really incredible way whilst others just kinda ...stuck, regardless of how much you try to assist them.

    It's sort of like pouring all your energy into a bottomless pit, and I have stopped doing that with people that just doesn't seem to listen to what I have to say.

    How is that going to help the situation?

    Now, I could see the frustrations if it is over the people who want to kill themselves for really silly reasons like, being told to take out the trash. (etc.)

    Or, why don't you excuse yourself from these situations?

    • So your solution is to leave the suicidal person alone so they might kill themselves? I believe by law that would be neglect.

      Johnny:I am going to kill myself
      Sarah:Well okay but I have to help my mom in the kitchen so ill chat later.

      Next morning Johnny is declared dead from suicide.

      Yeah brilliant idea. You are obviously mentally deficient if you really do not see the issue in that.

    So do you really enjoy your life that much, always?

        Yes it does. If you usually enjoy your life you won't understand suicidal people who don't enjoy theirs. Hence the question.

    I kind of understand what you are saying. I can understand that some people have terrible problems and don't know how to cope with it but I can't understand how someone can think about and try to take away his own life. It's difficult to understand.

    I understand. People always assume that if you want to punch someone, you A) don't like them B) don't want the best for them. Sometimes, I get so angry when people tell me that they want to do self-destructive things, I fight the urge to punch them.
