How does society react to a suicide attempt?
in Psychology ·
First, let me establish that I know you, just so we are clear. It would be dishonest to claim I don't care about you, but I must be frank: your sudden depressive episodes and your relentlessly pessimistic outlook are exhausting. You cannot view everything through such a dark lens and expect to drag everyone else down with you. That is precisely why people tend to distance themselves; most people simply lack the capacity to constantly absorb your internal struggles when they are busy navigating their own—which, in many cases, are quite significant in their own right. We all manage our burdens, striving for balance even when things are difficult, and we lean on friends for support. Believe it or not, I have been there, listening to you navigate everything, which is ultimately what led to this discussion on the forum. To be honest, I no longer have the energy to push myself; until you address these core issues personally, my interaction with you will be limited to necessary communication. Please understand, my intention isn't to insult you, but to point you toward the actual root of the problem in a way you might actually accept.
Furthermore, you really need to reconsider your habit of making jabs where they hurt most. You must realize that not everything is a joke. While I may occasionally interpret your comments as mere sarcasm, you need to exercise more discretion. Some people are easily offended, and while they try to be mindful of their words, you must do the same. To be blunt, you seem to struggle with social cues and the ability to communicate effectively in a balanced way. If you want to maintain friendships, learning this is essential. It isn't easy, but I am certain your intelligence is far greater than any measurement of shoe size, and I trust you can deduce when a comment is appropriate and when it is not.
It is true that I, along with many others, have distanced ourselves from you, but there is a reason for that. Friends are meant to provide comfort during hard times, but they are also meant to share joy. If you reflect on your recent interactions, ask yourself how much positivity you have actually contributed to your friends versus how much negativity. I still consider myself your friend, but at this moment, I have no desire to hear about your struggles with three different types of antidepressants or your refusal to eat. Good grief, you weigh less than my shoe size. You aren't overweight; quite the opposite, you look unhealthily thin. You were much more attractive when you had a bit more weight on you; now, your physical state is genuinely concerning. Please, start eating normally. Even if you gain a little weight, you will certainly look better than you do now.
I recognize that you are dealing with general issues regarding your parents, but believe me, if you were in my position, it would feel even heavier. I often remind myself that others face even harsher circumstances, and while I certainly experience bouts of depression due to my own situation, I make sure to balance those moments by sharing positive experiences with my friends. That is how I maintain my social circle. If you want to find that same connection, you must follow a similar path.
This is only a small portion of what I need to say. I sincerely hope you take the time to resolve these matters and attempt to function more healthily. Until then, I have enough of my own challenges to manage, and I cannot sit by and watch you self-destruct. It serves no constructive purpose in my life. However, if you can find some stability and return to a more balanced way of living, I would be happy to welcome you back into my life.
Best regards! 😉
