I'm going to commit suicide 2

But don't try and stop me, I'm really going to do it. This isn't a cry for attention or anything. I just can't deal with reading so many bullshit suicide threads on the internet anymore so please don't try and talk me out of it.
I mean really, come on people, as if people posting that shit on a public message board are really that suicidal, they are just crying for some kind of validation to their existence. If they were really going to kill themselves I doubt they would bother making a thread about it.
Does anyone really care when they read some sob story about how some idiot is going to off themselves on the internet? Usually when I actually bother to read their stories, they have strange tones of narcissism mixed in with the same old theme of somehow existing as a blameless victim of their loved ones or society at large.
Replying to these people with a simple 'go on then' will have everyone call you a monster, as if one more mentally disturbed drama queen with whom I have no emotional ties is really going to make this rock a better place for me. What isn't fair about that is both the 'suicidal' poster and myself have the same goal, attention from strangers over the internet to validate our existence.
So, why should I give a shit about these faceless basket cases who cry suicide (wolf) over the internet, and if you are one of the people who do care, why? Sometimes I get a bit of a strange thought, maybe, the people who reply with boring stuff like 'don't worry, the world is great and I love you' are the real suicidal folk trying to desperately convince and nurture themselves, by proxy, before they finally kick the bucket in cold silence.

Mine are especially. Look at this subject, I sure am going to be rolling in attention for the next hour or so.

None of my posts are attention seeking. What am I basking in exactly? If no one responds will it make me feel bad? Can I cash in their attention at the bank? Can I make it blow me? Will it rub my back?
No.

IMO, validating your self-image through seeking attention from others is necessary for being happy and confident.

Who gives a shit? Your post is just as whiny as those you bash, in my eyes.

Well obviously I do otherwise I wouldn't have typed up a half page rant about the subject. Although at closer glance, it does seems I am not the only one having a whine here.

I care. If your contention was correct then none of at least dozens of examples of individuals who wrote about or claimed a desire for suicide on the internet and indeed followed through with it, a few of which happened in this very forum, actually happened at all. Often these individuals don't feel like they have any supporters or people to hear their cries in real life, and since making those pleas are difficult anyway, the anonymity of the internet makes that step even easier.
Don't ever discount those cries or even more subtle warning signs. I made this very mistake once and it has not been easy to live with.

i agree with Lunar... 90% of his posts dont seem very attention seeking given that probably only he knows wtf they are on about. (at least one would hope he does)

I care because they are most likely not in a decent mental state, i have been there myself and its not fun, therefor i can relate and sympathize with fellow human beings.
And what does it matter if they troll or not, people struggle with suicidal thoughts regardless.
Try forcing that fat head of yours out your ass OP.
