Threatning suicide for attention; let's talk about this.

While it's not GOOD to threaten suicide for attention, I do sometimes understand and empathize with people who do this. Sometimes, people need help and guidance. And sometimes, the only way they know to get this is by manipulating people. It's not right, but it's not always exactly an act of malice that people often think it is.

I never thought of it like that. I always thought it was a way to get attention but then again I don't know how they feel but I do know that people like that make it harder for people like me, who are actually suicidal or have suicidal Ideation besides facing the "you're being selfish crowd" people will try to use it against us in some way.
