When I read the comments to some stories, I wonder why people say the things they do. People who tell others to “stay strong” and “don’t give up” yet are overcome with manic depression and revolving thoughts of suicide. Why do we say things that are so hypocritical? I don’t understand. It frustrates me seeing that, it makes me think “Are these people real? Why are they on here saying these things when they themselves are on the verge of self destruction? I don’t believe they actually mean what they say; or maybe they say those things because they want someone to say the same to them?” I don’t know. I don’t understand humans. We all do and say things we don’t mean, just to please people. For what? Why do we pretend to be something for someone else’s benefit? Why does it feel wrong to be our pure selves? Sometimes I feel as though my life is theatrical play, I’m the main character and it’s everyone else’s job to fool me. Everybody is in on the joke except for me.

Wanting to help people/be supportive. Not knowing what else to say. Wanting to believe what they say. Better than saying “good luck offing yourself, mate.”
But I am just a figment of my imagination.
I think half the motivation for people to write those supportive comments is for their own relief and I think that that’s more than fine.
Maybe some have legitimate hope for others and simply want to deter them from following the same path of destruction as they do.
Maybe some find hope helping others.
where the fuck are my comments disappearing to!? I wrote a great comment on this post yesterday only to wake up and it’s gone! Fuck.
Huh, never even saw it.
I would tell others to be strong, because I know personally I may not have the strength to go on. But just because I don’t have the strength to carry on, doesn’t mean I won’t to see others give up to. I like to think that there a lil hope out there for someone else even if I cannot see it
@this_iz_me T_T *cries* sooo.. touching…. i feel you ….. T_T I agree with you..
@killswitchnon … nvm dude.. I’ve wrote several long comments and never been approved. 🙁
i just did this to someone yesterday.
speaking for myself only, it is one thing to give up on myself… that’s easy, but to give up on someone else?? not so easy. It is difficult to see someone else in pain, compassion drives us to try and fix it and rarely is acquiescence to death an option i would offer anyone else. So, it isn’t so much that we bullshit, secretly in our minds thinking, “dude, you are so fucked”, i think we just believe in someone else’s ability to overcome, more so than our own, after all, we aren’t suggesting to ourselves to live with the circumstances- we probably couldn’t.
Great post Namesake!! You got my mind off of my own woes for a minute – thank you 🙂
i echo disposablegrl’s comment. and i just know nobody is as fucked as me. i genuinely believe in the best for people.
