[lizzardking]

Whats making your life hard?

im not treated as a human being by anyone. i've also realized that nobody is actually happy so theres no point in chasing that dream. im tired of this existence and would like to move on.

People jumping in front of trains can be bounced off and severely maimed but survive or die a slow and painful death. I looked at trains myself and a number of factors put me off. High chance of messing things up due to a few things. Even putting your head on the tracks is fraught with complications. I'm not trying to piss on your bonfire. Just sharing the benefit of my experience and research and of course some opinion.

There are plenty of happy people out there, don't kid yourself.

Even though I agree rude phrasing to someone clearly being distressed.

How can anyone construe anything I said as being rude? It was a clear, matter of fact statement. Whether I said kidding yourself, or fooling yourself, or lying to yourself, it's all the same. Maybe you're just a bit too sensitive and read things into things that are not there? I think what is being rude is making statements that ALL people are unhappy, when there is nothing in this world that is all or never. Saying things like that doesn't foster understanding of one's own situation.

When did OP say that?

Careful--A guy in NYC jumped in front of a train trying to kill himself but instead he only had his legs cut off--Now, he's in a wheelchair

Head first or no go. Leg amputation is not uncommon with train attempts. Or jumpers going feet first and living paralyzed. It's incredible the amount of damage a human can survive.

I'm sorry that you suffer so unbearably. I know that it is hard to carry on when you are so tired of everything. The train sounds like a horrible way to go personally, but I understand being desperate to leave. This life really is torture. I hope that you find relief from your pain in whatever happens, I wish you the best.

When did OP say that?

They all did this to me the other day, said I was being insensitive - this is not a paid therapy session and we are not therapists - this is a forum where people discuss life, death and dying - if you can't handle people voicing their opinion on your situation, it's probably best not to publicly post about it on a forum

I can understand if people are asking for advice, but OP is distressed and venting. No point in trying to make anyone feel worse than they do.

Some people come here for support and just want to be heard. No one is obligated to provide any support and if you don't want to, then it's best to just ignore.

Depends what you mean by support. The OP said they want everyone to know how much pain they're in by jumping in front of a train, then the first response was that generally this would be a bad idea as it will cause a lot of pain for you - is this also not being supportive of the OP? If you post on a public forum you'll likely get a multitude of responses from people with differing personalities and different approaches to reacting to the OP. To say no one is happy is obviously quite untrue, so someone pointed that out, bluntly. We can't police the way that everyone on here chooses to express their opinions. It's a public forum.

By support, I'm talking emotionally.

Some people try to jump into these threads without any empathy. You can't try instill logic into someone who's so clearly distressed and upset. It just feels completely inappropriate at times.

This place is a safe haven for so many people, just let them vent and get their emotions out.

Pointing out the dangers of a particular method could stop somebody from having a failed attempt and ending up injured and or disabled.

People have been thankful to members for doing this.

That's not at all what I'm talking about or why I brought up my original comment.

When did OP say that?

Pain In The Ass said "When did OP say that". I didn't say that. I responded to it. In your quote above for "When did OP say that" it is under the heading in the box of me, locked*n*loaded saying it. Not making a big deal about it, but just wanting to point that out. And I still feel I was not being insensitive with what I posted, originally, that seemingly started this entire boondoggle.

but that's what life is like, so the forum will be like it too - it's hard to have empathy for everyone, and be sensitive to everyone's situation, all the time - sometimes people respond bluntly in person, and you have the choice to respond or just ignore them, and it's the same here
