I don't try. I just hope they are not going to do the job.

Several years ago, on EP, there was a young woman who was threatening suicide. All the people she communicated with were in North America, except for one friend who lived in Australia with her.
So much sympathy and prayers were offered. The whole story was just too heart breaking. Then, after a year or so,,there was a message from her friend in Australia saying she had done it. She killed herself after logging off the night before. I was never sure she was for real.

I still think she and her so called friend were the same person. She got tired of the game and "killed" herself so she could move on to something else.

Offer kindness as best you can manage and hope for the best.

I type words n click things.

You don't.

You can say something encouraging to try and keep them online, but actually stopping them, I'm not sure that can be done.

All we can do is empathize and say something helpful and listen, if any of that prevents a suicide, then that is how.

Tell them to give up windows 10 and find something else.

yes you can express compassion.

I don't interfere

Was it him?

I ignore them. That's what they want attention.

wtf ? call the person ?
