OK, lets talk about suicide.

[myway]

JFN2 is at my house. We are having another one of those "special" conversations(yea, Ariel would fit in GREAT around my peeps).
I was in a gazillibilliMADDmillionKELVINdegreeO'tons of psych classes in high school and college,usually all honors classes.
JFN2 is just WAY smarter than me, I mean, just a natural brainiac.
We are having a debate about WHY people kill themselves.
We aren't talkin depression, hopelessness, sudden loss, sudden life changes(because PLENTY of people deal without that stuff and DON'T die from suicide).
But WHAT is the common factor?
Ok, lets go.
BTW- nice size k awards for for ef'ers posting insightful stuff.... and stuff.
Discuss.............

Depression is a symptom of living within a bottled city.
Suicide is a symptom of living without pity.

pretty simple.

it's escape.
more often people who commit suicide make their problems to be bigger than they are. people who commit suicide are egocentric and self centered in the moment. they feel they can not deal with the problems they are facing or that they will be more scary/hurtful than dying. its their distorted perception ( the perceived degree of difficulty of the issues they face) that ultimately lead to them taking their own life.

Some commit suicide that their whole lives were very introverted, and they weren't outgoing in the least. Yet they secretly wanted to be such. So what other way could they achieve that kind of image by others than to prove to everyone once and forever that they are that person within their tiny bubble of a shell. They end their live and are instantly the center of conversation for a long time to come, and will remain a figure that is shrouded in conversation pieces at or during any social event /gathering. Being from then on known as anything BUT a quiet coward.(even though that is precisely what they ultimately would be)

Just a thought. K??
