This can obviously be taken a number of ways, but remember – nobody is worth your severe depression and they sure as hell aren’t worth your life. Just a thought.

A nice thought to have but we live in a world where we have to interact with others; try as I might I find it impossible not to be affected by them. I’ve suffered at the hands of others in one way or another for most of my life, for good and bad, I’m the way I am because of how I’ve been shaped by them in the past. It’s true we shouldn’t have to be in a position to want to kill ourselves because of how others treat us, I wish everyone was as caring IRL as those who use SP.
Nias,
Oh, I agree – it is definitely easier said than done. I just feel that being as self-reliant as possible is the way to go. It is very, very difficult, however (believe me, I have been as guilty – or more – as anybody in the world for allowing others to dictate my feelings). I just thought it was a thought worth throwing out there.

A lot of people say a lot of things, if some are hurtful it preys on the mind even if they try and blot it out. I know someone who is being talked about behind his back, hurtful things, I’m sure they do the same with me, and the same insult as him. Things said in my past I can’t forget however hard I try, if these insults resurface it will destroy me. Wherever I go the problem I have will follow me, as will the fear of the insults. I can’t ignore it, I do try to pursuade myself it doesn’t matter as you say I should L4Y, but if it’s true it’ll be the end of me. I suppose it won’t matter in the long run if I’m dead because of it. I hate bullies, hate, hate, hate; they ruin lives, if only they knew the damage they do, but then, would they care. Thank you for your post L4Y, you are right that we shouldn’t care what others say, I suppose this should be the song to play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ApXhdT2P1g
What are nice song nias. I’m glad you shared that. 🙂
“I hate bullies, hate, hate, hate, hate; they ruin lives”. Yep…it’s a human rights issue.
Thank you, Nias. As I said, it’s often far easier said than done. And I agree – bullies and their words are very damaging. It’s difficult to say if they are fully aware of the hurt they cause or if they would care. My best wishes to you and your friend.

He’s a work colleague and a nice guy so it upsets me at the way others talk about him, thank goodness he doesn’t know; you need the hide of a rhino to cope sometimes. It’s the nice people here on SP that keeps me going, it really is: you, whispers, lost, and others, thank you for being here and bringing hope to otherwise hopeless people.
Hugs! I like reading your comments because they are always kind. I’ve never seen you be mean or rude. Just wanted to say that it is noticed, it is appreciated, and I am glad that you are here.
Thank you, Nias. I appreciate the kind words 🙂
what do you mean by your quote L4Y?
KillSwitchOn,
I liked the photo because I feel it is best to rely on ourselves as much as possible without allowing others enough power over us to cause us tremendous pain. Although, as I said above, I do realize it is easier said than done much of the time.

I would love to not deal with people, but we are wired to have social needs. I feel worse when I isolate myself. Even if it’s just from insincere, selfish people (most people).
I wish there was some way to meet people like the posters here, though. People who experience serious pain and struggle can turn into wonderful human beings.
