When we openup our suicidal thought why people think we are attention seeker or imature 馃槶

No one wishes for another to commit suicide. This is not the proper venue for that. There are professionals who will help those who are suicidal.

I hope you seek the help you need.
i tend to be pretty resolute and quiet about it when iget a mind to try again. i don't want anyone to know and take great pains to make it so that should i succeed, no one can make any huge hoopla and let the cat out of the bag via social media to upset any others (i lock all time lines down too) and silently go off alone. not everyone who is suicidal is shouting it from the hills when we get ready.

sometimes we just want to talk to someone about the fact that we have the feelings in general, but NOT that we desire to stop, but want someone to understand why we might have them, and perhaps to seek a bit of understanding of our own as to why we feel so compelled to snuff out our own candles in such a way when the human instinct is to survive.sometimes you just want to say "i have this in my heart, and it'd be nice if i was allowed to talk about this thing that isn't pretty for once, is that ok? is it ok to be human with you right now?" and not have them running off to alert a medical professional of some kind.
Because so many are, unfortunately. People reach out, offer to pm for talks, give them crisis hotline numbers or resources to get help. They ignore it, and are back with the same complaints. It鈥檚 hard not to become a bit cynical.

@bijouxbroussard I never said you didn't understand. From what you have said you do understand. It can be hard to help people especially if they aren't ready for it and yes your mental health is important. Don't help anyone if you feel unable to the last thing I'd want is for you to go down with them. You do what is best for you.
@rokrchik1211 No worries, I didn鈥檛 feel accused. I just wanted to clarify how I came to feel somewhat skeptical sometimes. 馃檪

Because they don't understand or have never been near those types of feelings and some haven't figured out how to admit that they feel the same way

Not sure. Maybe because people don't really understand how someone could ever want to do that to themselves unless they have experienced it, dealt with someone like that or is trained in treating it. There are also a small percentage of people that do that for attention usually people who are manipulative. It should always be taken seriously. It is a very real thing that can be scary for both the people dealing with it and the person experiencing it.

Some people are not helpful and we have to admit there is some of the population out there that want attention so badly, they will say anything, but that is not our call to make, if someone is suicidal we should listen before we just decided someone's motives.

It can be hard for some people to comprehend others feelings and emotions. That鈥檚 why it would be better to talk with someone who is trained to deal with these issues.

maybe they never understood why some think like so. by tagging it, they are just writing off any responsibility and wanting to talk about other stuff.

If you are having suicidal thoughts you should be seeking attention. Attention from people who can listen to you and help.
