You ever talk to someone and get genuinely surprised they’re capable of remembering to breathe? So often, I hopefully wish their stupidity hurts them more than it hurts me. Then the golden nugget, complain of their chronic persistent headache. First thought is it must be from being forced to hear themselves 24/7.

I wonder more about really loud talkers in restaurants. I don’t mean someone who genuinely seems to have a hearing problem, but people who are just loud for no reason.
Yeah. Idgaf . Frankly, I’m about fed up with the pretentious attitude on SP. Bunch of fucking dolts, got every fucking answer and so fucking awesome so why the fuck you in a suicide site.
Fuck y’all, I’m out.
Hmm, well I apologize for when I have done this (I’m sure I have). You are well-liked here.
Didn’t mean to specifically reply to you, was meant as a general statement. To clarify.
I understand, thank you, but it’s true. I am guilty of some comments sounding unnecessarily argumentative or posting when not in the best mood.
1) No. 2) I don’t. 3) That’s unfortunate. 4) Most people, sadly this often includes me, spend more time obsessed with their internal dialog than what is coming out of their mouth. Therefore they tend not to hear themselves.
Despite it all, stupidity is not a character flaw, it’s just a fact of life.
“not a character flaw, it’s just a fact of life”
Totally borrowing this.
Nice to see you’re faring rainbows today.
It took me a long time before I realized you meant to say “FARTING rainbows”.
Note to self: Eat skittles and bean burritos, then sit back and wait.
I figured since alan is in such a state I would contribute to the shittiness by allowing auto correct to do something just off enough to make the sentence not make sense.
Nah. Actually I was just rushing and my phone does this shit all the time.
I agree that some people are hard to be around.
(*reading your comment above*) I also agree that sometimes we find a person on sp who seems to not understand what depression really is. It isn’t something magically treated by swallowing rainbows and thinking positive. Nobody can just “snap out of it”, and I hate that suggestion.
Nobody “has to” endure, and I’d hoped sp was a place where we would respect a person’s choice either way.
I hope all of you are able to find a way to hang in there, but if for some reason you honestly can’t, I hope I can at least be there to offer comfort and support during the time you have left. And I hope you’d do the same for me, respecting whichever choice I made.
Anyway…. I still like sp, because the majority of us do seem to understand what the disease of depression really is. You guys are the closest thing I have to a support group.
I think Alan might be misinterpreting peoples’ tones. Just because someone here seems to offer advice in a glib manner, or enjoys nonsensical chatter, does not mean they have all the answers. I’ve seen members here attacked before for speaking with humor, because somehow being funny means you don’t deal with any pain and/or mental/physical illness. Unfortunately that isn’t the case.
Unless a person comes here specifically to troll people, or pick up vulnerable women, I think most members have their own reasons to be on the site. I highly doubt many posters think their life is “awesome.”
I’ll know my life has improved when I don’t visit here often anymore, because let’s be honest, a suicide site is a pretty dark concept. There are so many heartbreaking and horrifying stories shared here.
The community itself is pretty great though. Lots of interesting, likable people drop by and become regulars (like all you folks posting on this thread), consistently throughout the years. That’s one reason I’ve stayed around.
*Edit: I shouldn’t be so gender specific when I mentioned the pick-up artists… men can be vulnerable too. Women AND men. No one should be exploiting anyone here, period.
nepheliad, I agree with you about pick-up artists…exploiting vulnerable people on here! SP Is hardly a dating site! there are numerous sites to do that with people that are looking just to hook up, this is that last place you’d want to go! a lot of people are lonely on here, and this is cyber, I can’t imagine someone would come here with that in mind, but it takes all kinds i guess. but there isn’t any thing wrong if a couple people hook up that are dying of loneliness either. i just hope everyone’s motives are pure.
yep we all understand depression that’s for sure, i think most of us do, i try to spread a little manure now and then, pump sunshine up everyone’s ass!!! it may seem i’m trying to act smart or something, but really i’m talking from experience, constant negativity brings more negativity, but many people are looking for that, they want to hear yeah life is screwed go a head and do it, their looking for conformation, that they are thinking in the right direction, i don’t really know what happened to ANT, But i was trying to convince him to give it one more shot, i knew he was very serious, i bonce back from a very dark place, it’s been a few years now, so it’s possible, sometimes i wonder am i just buying time, truthfully the last few weeks thought has been creeping back, more often and stronger, i need to hang in there as cordless is saying, let’s face it we have to be careful to balance the scales or it’s all a one way deal, but yeah ALAN! I HATE WHEN PEOPLE COME ON HERE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WANT TO DIE, AND SAY STUPID SHIT!! 🙂 Excuse my stupid comment i’m very tired today.
