I think suicide is very selfish, that's my thoughts on the subject.
Especially when the person has a lot of people in their lives. A wife, kids, grand kids, friends.
At the end of the day I don't think they can live with been a nobody. They love the accolades, the stardom, the money, the phrase, Oscars etc
When it goes away, they can't take it. Drugs and drink don't help either.
It's politically correct to say the right things, it's 'so sad' etc and nobody can say anything different.

Oh, did you know the man? Wow, it must have been so awesome to know someone so personally that you can know all that to be true...

And if this is about Robin Williams, do your research a little better next time...actually, how about you go ahead and do any research at all. It didn't all go away, he was still working in Hollywood.

You apparently think money and being famous makes a person happy. I guess this goes to show you that it doesn't. When someone is so depressed that they consider taking their own life and/or actually do so, it IS sad. Sad that no one saw it, sad that they didn't get help, sad that the world lost a good person, which is usually the case for suicides, whether they are famous or not.

yes, he was always quite successful since his twenties, and also always said that he had these demons to fight..

Triple Bogey, this is one of the most close-minded things I have EVER heard. Why is suicide selfish? Just because a person has money and is famous, he should feel good all the time? Depression and suicide aren't just caused by a lack of money, fame, friends, but they can be factors. But whatever the reason is he comitted suicide, it's not selfish. It's sad yes, but it is his own choice. Often people take their own life because they couldn't get the help they need. Whatever the cause for the decision, you don't know what was going on in the man's head, so don't be judgemental. You can have your opinion on suicide. But honestly, what I find sad, is the way you think about money and fame. Money isn't everything, fame isn't everything. Nothing is everything. Everyone is different.

It's unlikely that he was quoting someone, since he didn't issue any quotes in his post and he didn't cite who wrote it.

In his book “Myths About Suicide,” Psychologist Thomas Joiner deconstructs the myth that suicide is cowardly or selfish.

“It certainly seems selfish from the outside,” Joiner told NPR in 2010. “I understand the sentiment. But the trouble is, in trying to reason about the suicidal mind from a non-suicidal place – that’s basically where most of these myths come from.”

“What the suicidal person is thinking at the time is actually quite different from selfishness. Their idea is along the lines of, my death will be worth more than my life to others,” he explained. “Now, if you ponder that sentiment, that’s not selfish at all. In fact, if anything it’s the opposite. It’s very selfless.”

It would be nice if a person could hide certain threads.

I have the Flu and it's ******* horrible. 6 days of feeling like every bone/muscle/nerve in my body has been trampled on by wilderbeast and is being provocatively pinched and stabbed at by ice ghosts, going from freezing cold to boiling hot waking up in vomit or buckets of sweat with a new sore on my face and my eyes wont stop stinging and watering. Real Flu too not just manflu.

I look so damn rough it's hilarious - had to take a #fluselfie earlier for the lols but really it's not a good look.

Seriously, **** the Flu.

I just saw my 60 year old aunt call someone an "askhole" online, lol. It's just weird, I remember her yelling at me for cussing when I was a kid. I guess she's too old to care about polite language.

That would be nice. You can hide sub-forums at least (I have controversial hidden).

August 1996, a hot, humid, and restless night. Just me, on my bed, mirror full of lines, bottle full of whiskey, and a loaded 38. 12 hours, the clock ticked, my master. Was ready to do it until somebody that wasn't there grabbed my shoulder. It's a shame, nobody grabbed Robin's shoulder...

It could be worse - it could be a stomach flu, then you'd have to stop every 15 mins to wipe your... never mind.

mmm, this woman stands me up, then the day after writes that she was sick but without her phone couldn't send me a message to Facebook? No laptop at home? mmmm… sounds strange, if you ask me… and if you just didn't think we had an appointment, why write the no phone excuse?
I don't think we are going to be friends

 

[TheRealCallie]

I have to actually work today, no more procrastinating

 

[EveWasFramed]
