Me and my friends meeting up after a week
finally an acknowledgment of this
ive had to leave quite a few trans or generally lgbt focused communities online because of wild levels of codependence
the intense empathy in these communities can sometimes leave people susceptible to certain sorts of manipulation i feel,
several members of those communities i was in would be so easily manipulated by others, with threats like “do ____ or i will harm myself or i will not take care of myself appropriately”
and these often came from people in genuinely concerning and upsetting situations or histories, but they could use their own trauma to rope other people in and seemingly take them down with them
walking away from these kinds of people despite their threats is incredibly liberating
i said nothing arguing that suicidality is not unique or that professionals are always competent, i argued that trying to negotiate with someone who is suicidal is often traumatic and the average person isnt qualified to perform such negotiations
fun fact for the future: someone being suicidal is not your problem and you should not try to help beyond referring them to helpful resources
theres a reason mental health professionals are PROFESSIONALS and not just random kind people
you are (likely) not trained to handle this situatuon and thus should not engage in this lest you experience real trauma or worsen the other persons situation
so do not kill yourself in the process of trying to be the sole force stopping them
edit: felt the need to add if someone you know is experiencing suicidality, oftentimes the best and safest choice is just to make plans
suicidality is, in the majority of cases, spurred by short-term issues making people feel trapped in their current situation
so plan things with them! plan going out to a concert or restaurant! plan how they can enjoy life in the future!
this is something i feel VERY strongly about because of my own past experiences with feeling the need to “negotiate”
keep in mind im not saying you cant just talk about life with people expressing these ideas, just make sure the conversation doesnt turn into a “negotiation”
ty for reading my long ass comment thats indirectly about my own experiences i love all of you lemmings kthxbye <3
pretty based, if you wanna drown this drama beef out i always resort to a band called car bomb :3
this is it, still remember the joy of my first watch still rewatch it from time to time
actually one of my favorite movies
loool youre in the wrong place fully mask off with the “hope your kids get gangbanged” part doesnt sound you really care for the kids?
