Ways to say your friends you're going to ctb

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

I don't want to tell them "hey, i'm going to kill myself soon". No. That will fucked up my plan. I want to give them some signs. I'm posting songs about suicide on Fb and songs made by artists who killed themselves just to give some signs that I am suicidal.

But why?
Genuinely wondering why you would do that? To get attention? To make them regret it if you CTB and they missed the signs?

It would be acceptable if they were actively abusing you or intentionally breaking your boundaries, but otherwise it sounds quite sadistic if I'm honest.

I don't have any friends. Got tired of the games they'd play

My main question is why? I don't think posting these signs would be beneficial to anyone.

That would make it more acceptable but even in that case why? If they were abusive I wouldn't want to waste my time and energy on them and would just CTB without notice. As in, those losers don't deserve my time and I rather be the bigger person.
It seems like a dramatic, attention seeking move and I'm a bit allergic to that. No trying to insult OP.

I told both parents and one sister my plan to ctb after my mother dies because I want them to be prepared. It's going to be incredibly hard for my sister losing her mother and brother in the same week especially because we've all very close. Best thing I can do is prepare them for the inevitable. I don't have any friends to tell though.

That is a fair enough point! I think in some cases it might help people to ctb with dignity and in peace to show awareness and rejection of abuse, after however long of enduring it. Could be a way to take back power of themselves. But yeah, in most cases it's pretty low. No offense OP I wish you peace.

I don't understand why either. Perhaps there's still a part in you that desires their attention? That's nothing to be ashamed of - after all we're all just humans, and humans need attention and contact.

May I ask why? If you want them to save you then just talk to your friends otherwise you can leave a note.

I don't want to be save.i just want to give them.some signs that soon I'm going to ctb. My life is over.

My recommendation would be not to allude to your future suicide if you plan on doing it. The amount of guilt you will cause to those who care about you will be tremendous. It would be best to now show warning signs if you do plan on ending it. Because they are already going to be heartbroken, and there's no reason to add doubt/guilt to their emotions. If you're doing it so people will reach out, I suggest just reaching out instead.

 

[Despondent]

I don't think you should show signs, and I know you don't want to be saved. Have you thought about what if someone does catch on to these signs? You might end up being saved anyways. Instead of letting everyone see these signs (which would REALLY hurt them) why not find that one close friend. Don't do that to others ❤ And I know that one friend might try and save you, but they might do that anyways if they see a consistent pattern. They might also see it as a cry for help -- even if it's not.

What are you trying to achieve by giving them signs? If there's anything you want to tell them, then you may just as well leave it in a suicide note.

I agree. Anything that directly or indirectly involves other people crosses a major line for me. A person's death is already painful enough for others, there's no reason to involve anyone else.

Are you looking to have them stop you? I do not see the purpose of telling anyone your plans unless you are hoping they will interfere with your plans as a last resort.

I don't know...maybe just don't tell them?
