Discussion Has anyone else noticed genuine sociopaths on this site?

[iplayedmyself]

Hey i am new here, only posted a few times but already ran into one person who seemed kinda off. this person was pushing some weird nihilistic stuff like it was facts and kept mocking my replies, felt like they were just trying to mess with me not actually help.

i do not know if anyone else seen stuff like this or dealt with people like that here? just wondering how people handle it because it really messes with the vibe.

would be cool to hear what you all think about this kind of behavior and how to keep this place real and supportive.

 

[Sunderland]

you'll get that from time to time, i think some people are just past the point of sugar coating. when you're on a forum with ctb as the main factor it's going to be a hotbed of mental illness. i wouldn't say there's many sociopaths here, but you will run into cases of general apathy. most people are chill though.

sorry you're here.

 

[Withered]

All opinions are welcome here regardless if some of them appear unhelpful or odd. I looked through your post history and couldn't exactly figure out where this mocking takes place.

Also, since you're new and having this issue, I assume you are unaware of the "ignore" feature that appears as an option when you click on users' profiles.

 

[iamthezero]

Yeah, unfortunately it comes with the territory. I've been off and on here for a long time and the type of characters I've run into…bruh. You just have to ignore, actually select ignore and then move on.

appreciate the reply. i deleted the post where it happened, maybe i read too much into it but the emoji reactions + tone of a reply felt off. might just be me being paranoid, idk. just rubbed me the wrong way.

So far I ran into Incels, people who promote religion, and well incels. You dont see it often though it's like 1 per 50 users.
The forum is based on mental health theres always going to be people like that.

I may be a sociopath

If people are mocking you and shit, report it to the mods.

Understandable. The diversity of opinion (coupled with the ignore option for those who irk me) is what makes this site so great.

 

[SchizoGymnast]

Every now and again, people are going to suck. And a handful of them are sociopaths. Sites like this are a type of free speech playground and people take full advantage. Stand your ground, you'll be fine.

 

[SoulWhisperer]

I kinda agree with Sunderland, in a place about CTB, which is guided by negative feelings and suffering it wouldn't he too surprising to find quite divergent personalities every now and then. I think it's that for some part

These kinds of posts kinda trigger me. Define sociopath. I just looked it up, and the first definition I came across says "a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others". Other definitions are similar.

The problem is that I don't believe there is objective 'right and wrong'. If I feel a certain way or have an opinion that offends you (or anyone), and you can't deal with that, then you can call me a sociopath, because my opinions don't always align with 'social norms'. But don't forget that you also have the right to defend your opinion, which is also just an opinion.

Or if you meant that people are directly attacking you as a person, in a rude way, then no, I don't see that here. Even if people have questionable worldviews, they usually express them in a civilised way.

This asshole was one:

Pulse oximeter reading after taking 600mg of SN

I do not recommend testing SN, this was just something I happened to think up on my own as I tend to be a very curious person and whatnot. My brain is now wired to find SN a bit repulsive, which in my case is okay because I have other methods in mind anyways. But if you never test it, you should...

And anyone who knew what he was up to is one as well.

 

[JesiBel]

Only once did I receive a private message from someone wishing me to be severely injured when I tried ctb. I reported him and that's it. I don't have time for nonsense like that, nor do I care what others say. There is no one crueler to me than myself, so..

 

[deathisapanacea]

Wanting to commit suicide might itself be considered a sociopathic behaviour by many. So obviously you will find lot of "sociopaths" here.

Holy shit! How did I miss this? Wow.

 

[Forever Sleep]

We seem to get the occassional troll and predator unfortunately. If they are breaking the rules, report them.

Some people just have very strong opinions though and are willing to debate them. There are options though. If they seem dangerous, inciting violence, trying to manipulate or groom, trying to encourage suicide or dangerous behaviour- it's reasonable to report them.

If they are just annoying or trigger you for some reason, without overstepping the rules here- you could put them on ignore. They could well be a troll.

If you've run into an actual argument with them, you can try to call a truce. Agree to disagree. Point out that you both seem to trigger one another and request that you both put each other on ignore.

We're bound to be discussing very deep issues here. There are bound to be strong opinions and disagreements. I also sometimes think that certain conditions mean that someone's thinking is very black and white. I sometimes wonder if that plays a part in disagreements here. Or, we simply have very strong feelings about something that seem perfectly rational to us I suppose.

I'd say the majority of people are kind here though. Even if they have their own strong opinions, most seem to have empathy and respect for others. It's really if a person appears dangerous I suppose as opposed to a bit off. I think over time though, if you choose to stay- you learn which threads to stay clear of and which members you clash with.

 

[SmilingNoMore]

I think we'll find more sociopaths out there in the real world, than here in the caring, considerate and empathetic community of SaSu.

 

[bankai]

Luckily, so far I've just encountered people who want to discuss day to day matters. I mean, I'm just a guy on a suicide site, right? I have enough issues on my own. I don't need extraneous shit heaping up on the top of my head. you know?

Ignore button is you're friend if you want to block people i guess.i refuse to block the normies though even though anhedonia and i don't get joy from the interaction but i still want to like engage in human games i guess.

 

[locked*n*loaded]

I don't think it's fair to equate sociopathic tendencies with nihilistic beliefs. Personally, I don't really subscribe to nihilism, but they're just beliefs, opinions, as valid as anyone elses. The world is full of people with different beliefs and opinions. You have the right to argue your viewpoint as much as they have theirs. If you want to exit a debate or discussion you're in with someone because it's gotten too "weird" for you, just say so and leave it.

 

[Bootleg Astolfo]

Do i count, do i count :D :D :D :D :D

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

I don't like snitching and denunciation, especially if the accused has no chance to defend himself.

 

[darksouls]

everyone in this forum has the opportunity to explain his opinion if he wants to

 

[Blueberry Panic]

I'd be one of those

The bomber was that poster??

 

[limpimitation]

The bomber was that poster??

The article seems to confirm that it was. I'm glad his video failed to upload. Fuck that guy

 

[Hotsackage]

There are def sociopaths, mostly everyone here has just given a shit hand, so being bitter sometimes is just part of the package.

 

[Rynalia]

I like being mean. To myself, at least.

For realsies though, I don't like sugarcoating things because it happens enough in real life.

Some things said by people might burn but I think the burn usually comes from a place of genuine hurt or anger (at life) and less "I want to make you fucking miserable specifically," most of the time.

Now there are people who actually want to hurt other people, and well... There are the funny report and ignore functions for those occasions.

Oh but definitely expect to be treated like trash if you treat people like trash in a thread yourself. Ho buddy do people pop off then they had enough bullshit.
