Why do people flaunt their suicidal tendencies on social media?

I don't mean people genuinely asking for help. I mean people that just post depressing shit and don't even try to do anything about their issues?

@GlueGun Or to emotionally catfish people. There was one here just an hour ago. But really...if you were truly suicidal and seeking help, would you come HERE for it?
People want someone to share their troubles with, I've been that person who posted depressing stories, it helped me by expressing myself and if you find that someone is willing to give you some advice about it, that has been through the same thing that is wonderful, you don't have to read the depressing posts if you don't want to, I will agree there are some attention getters out there but not all, just the same with old men being gross.

@Footsugar123 THAT is likely true. I agree and think the best place for this sort of thing is the Stories section where hopefully one would get a serious and compassionate reply.
@Abrienda I agree with you there, I suppose they think they might get a better response or faster one on the question section,

@Footsugar123 Yeah, also true...certainly faster if they feel in crisis. But you know and I know what many of the people here are like...I really don't think this is the right place for it.

Attention , Justification & Pity seeking

Attention, it helps them get by.

@MartinTheFirst I am not sure you can "see" a suicide prevention via social media...I suggest unless you know those involved personally, the background story, whether it was a sincere threat and what happened later on, sorry but you simply don't know enough to make the claim you saw anything real. Its just what you "think" happened but to say you saw it "personally", as in an eyewitness...well like I said we must agree to disagree and leave it at that.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Abrienda Yeah I know them personally. Stop it with your assumptions, it's quite annoying to be frank.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@MartinTheFirst You knw them personally on social media? You mean in person? My assumptions come from the fact your "story" makes no sense. What is also annoying s your faux-masculine desire to have the last word. I have tried to end this chat amicably by telling you twice as politely as I can I don't believe you but if that is what you want to believe then fine, but you are too insecure to accept that.

Now since you need it so badly I am not going to answer your reply so your bruised and swollen ego (and your obvious boyish immaturity)will feel better. Now send your answer and if this has been too hard on you emotionally ask your mommy for a cuddle or find some nice safe space you can run too where you can have milk and cookies and cradle a cat. There, there...better little boy?

I think part of it is attention and I think part of it is to be open and get feedback for your feelings, I really think it depends on the context of the post.

I see that all the time and I never respond to them as I do not want anything to do with any poor choice they make in the future..

attention.. writing out thoughts might help some out. maybe getting help from others.

Because they are lonely.
