Wait, what? That's not what I said. I'm saying it's a mistake to give too much attention and sympathy to suicidal ideations.
- DanBC 13y agoI would equate that to being harsh.
- lutusp 13y agoIt's a simple question of what works. Giving too much sympathy and attention to someone who discusses suicide is a bad idea. It is to suicide what an enabler is to a narcissist. It's more constructive to think of a way to get the person to imagine something other than suicide, but in a way that doesn't encourage a repeat performance.
