What I’ve learned in this perception altering life is that, no will be there for you. No matter how much friends or family you think you have, nobody will pick you back up when you fall. Nobody. I’ve always been the type of person that consistently put others before myself. But when it comes down to returning the favor, they run. Only you can pick yourself back up and only you can help yourself. You can’t depend on others to fix you. I’ve stopped putting everyone before me and started putting myself first. Because in the end, everyone will be gone. People will come and go and nothing will ever be permanent. So why waste your time and energy talking about your deep personal feelings when nobody is listening? You don’t.

Well said, something it took me a long time to learn also. I can’t speak for your situation but I have had a few friends/family members on some occasions go the extra mile for me as I’ve done for others, but like you said most people really don’t give a damn. They’ll take help from you and then treat you like trash once they’re ok again, after you saved from drowning.
Now I’m more careful about who I help and in most cases I help not because I expect anything in return, but because I do not want to see someone I know suffering-I do it for my own conscience.
Yes everyone we know will be gone one day, so it’s best to make the most out of your own life. Keep people around you who bring value to your life and get rid of those who are toxic to you.
It’d be nice if everyone treated others with respect, compassion and helped each other. But in the real world, most people are selfish, petty and malicious. We have no choice but to keep our guard up and only help those who deserve it and not throw our pearls to pigs as the saying goes.
youre right, people have much problem dealing with a suicidal, they cant cope with it probably because they cant even cope with their life
they say all sort of stupid things like dont do it, only the weak dont want to live, be stronger, why do you always speak of suicide
they couldnt care less
its like nobody never commit suicide in their mind and its always to draw attention and blackmail pity
i dont wish them to go thru a suicide period but if they ever do i think i will give them their own medicine and see whos the weakest now
I hear you. It’s a f***ing selfish time we live in.
I’m not sure if this is agreeing with your statment but:
Isn’t the idea of having help to do something basically just a guiding force to assist you, and that it’s ultimately up to the individual to follow through with said help on their own anyway? Considering that once you are of age, nobody can really tell you what you can and can’t do in your own life.
Also, doesn’t talking about your feelings (like posting them on here for instance) tend to help some people? Doesn’t getting comments from people who understand their viewpoints help them feel a bit of a relief and somewhat improves said people’s output? I’m not saying total 180 but maybe like 15 degrees of something of that nature? Even if the relief is barely there, isn’t that better than a constant shitty feeling or numbness one would feel otherwise?
