This isn’t really suicide related sorry I’m just feeling curious.
Do you ever wonder how many people there are that don’t have an account or never say anything but come here to read and feel less alone?
Is it like 5x the number of people who say stuff? 10 times? What do you think? Again sorry I’m just wondering.
And if you are one of those people, hi. Yes i’m talking about u. <3

i have wondered that as well,many times over the years. I would guess it’s a lot more or a lot less than we imagine.
I read quietly before joining, Iām sure there are others out there who do the same
I used to read all the time without an account, only made one yesterday but have been here many times before. I imagine its probably at least a 1:10 ratio of people who talk to people who just read; way more people are impacted by this community than we realize
I go with 1:10. I lurked for a long time, and even after I signed up I couldn’t bring myself to say anything for a long time. Even now, my post time to lurk time ratio is like 1:100.
Hello from a lurker š
Hi, I’ve been here for quite a few years…And I am a lurker. I hope everyone finds peace. In one way or another.
I lurked for about 5 years before I just recently started contributing.
I lurked for 2 months before I joined wished I would have found this site earlier, at least I don’t feel so alone with my tboughts anymore.
I’ve been trying to help out and comment. :).
I’m not sure if it was this one or another one but this kind of post and my sense of empathy has convinced me to reach out to people…
Plus I’m lonely and bored…
