[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading comments in this thread it is no wonder the suicide rate we have and that it is on the rise in a big way. Everyone wants to overshare on social media, usually some largely artificial curated version of their actual life which makes them look far more together than they really are - but very few people are willing to sit with the pain of a person suffering PTSD or other mental illness and who needs connection and validation to continue in the struggle of life.

People suck more than ever, I think, in this digital/social media age. The whole point of life is to be there for each other - but so many people are just focused on their own pleasure and not any kind of service to others which is our moral imperative as decent human beings.

Yeah those hurt people should just shut up and go away. They are annoying. [/quote]

You are misreading this thread. There is a huge difference between being there for a friend in need, and figuring out how to deal with someone who always and only wants to talk about their drama no matter the setting. We are discussing inappropriate social behavior here that can go on for years, not helping a friend at a particular time of need.[/quote]
