Discussion Why do you think many people attacked Robin Williams for committing suicide?

[Socrates Respecter]

Being angry at him, calling him a coward and all that. Were these people acting on their SI, trying to (subconsciously?) protect themselves from any thoughts that at least sometimes suicide can be rational?

What the hell. I didn't know people attacked him like that. That's seriously very fucked up

Sounds about right, it's probably to protect themselves from thinking too much about it.

i don't think i remember many people saying things like that.

i remember that time as being peak "you matter and it's okay to ask for help and you are valued and loved and you are not alone and heres the number to the suicide hotline <3" culture.
