      Yeah, this is what people say instead of being empathetic.

      It’s not incorrect, it’s just an inconsiderate thing to say; like telling a person “getting upset doesn’t help” when their house is on fire.

      Either help, support, or leave them alone, otherwise you’re actively choosing to be an asshole and literally nothing more.

        No, this the phrase I tell myself when I’m having a hard time and was hoping others would take comfort in it.

        Obviously though ive exposed myself as someone incapable of feeling for others though.

      Gee thanks, I’ll be sure to tell my brain chemistry that it is just a temporary problem.

            Yeah thats clearly what I thought was going to happen when I commented it. I couldn’t possibly just be sharing the phrase that gives me personal comfort in the hopes of it would help others. What i was really doing was attacking all suicidal people because I live a perfect life and have never experienced sadness or despair at all.

        Ken Baldwin, a survivor of a suicide attempt from the Golden Gate Bridge, reflected that upon jumping, he instantly realized that all the problems he thought were unfixable in his life were, in fact, solvable—except for having jumped

        But go off - I’m sure you and only you have a good idea of why people commit suicide, probably because you’ve considered it once yourself and now like to pretend like that gives you some unique insight that makes you feel special and important.

          K. Don’t take my word for it. Maybe read a fucking book by an expert, instead of spouting anecdotes.

          Or just continue with your genius ‘get over it’ strategy.

        Is it cold up there in your ivory tower of wisdom? Comment above you has good intentions. Why do you insist on insulting them? Try this one. Suicide is a dae facto act of extreme optimism. What else could compel someone to end their life of misery except the absolute conviction that the after life must be better in some way shape or form.

      I’ve seen every cliche about suicide there is, probably a hundred times each. None of them are even slightly convincing in any way. Only people who haven’t suffered from real depression and suicidal thoughts believe these petty words have any power.
