Suicide is a mortal sin. Try live somewhere else. Australia, Africa, Bulgaria, Island, New Zealand... and do not be a crybaby.

  > and do not be a crybaby. This is literally the worst possible thing you can say to someone who is suicidal. You're a terrible person, and you should be ashamed of yourself.

    > You're a terrible person, and you should be ashamed of yourself. That's not a great thing to say to a person either. Suicidal or not.
    • steveklabnik 12y ago
      I think it's a great thing to say to someone who agitates a suicidal person, personally.
    • abjorn 12y ago
      No, it's pretty appropriate in this situation. Don't be an ass.

  Shut it you demeaning, ignorant, jerk. Not everyone believes in your definition of "mortal sin" or even the concept and telling someone struggling with something so profound to "not be a crybaby" is one of the most rage inducing, unhelpful and ridiculous things I've ever heard. You have no idea what you are talking about.

    Don't feed the trolls.

      I know, I know. This subject is just one that gives me such a deep visceral reaction I couldn't help myself. sigh

    Sorry if it made you feel the bad way, not my intention. But. Is it helpful, if he gets thousands of comments saying "it will be ok"? It probably wont if he does not change something. Do you agree with suicide? I do not. Why? It is a mortal sin for me, if nothing else. It is my opinion and you have a different one, okay. Also I do not think that word "crybaby" is something a grown adult man would have problem with.

  As someone with plenty of first-hand experience, it was precisely being surrounded by people with that attitude that made me want to do it. If we're going to use this kind of logic, you should probably consider that pride and murder are also sins.

  Dude - this guy is seriously depressed! You need to think about what you're saying, you're coming of as the biggest asshole on HN.
  • voho 12y ago
    OK, maybe I coult write it in different words, but the point was to reprobate suicide as the solution and suggest a change in his life. Crybaby thing relates to the thing being a man.
• puppetmaster3 12y ago
  I'n not sure what the down votes. Seems like change of venues is great suggestion.
  • steveklabnik 12y ago
    In case you're serious, it's because "do not be a crybaby" is not an appropriate response to someone suffering from mental issues. If you said to me "Hey, I cut my hand really badly, and I'm bleeding quite seriously. What should I do?" it wouldn't be correct to say "do not be a crybaby." The right answer is "Go to the hospital and get some stitches." It's the same with mental issues. They're a wound like any other.
    • puppetmaster3 12y ago
      Do you have data on that? That that is not helpful. My parents said it to me and we say it among friends, there are even burger commercials saying same thing. Maybe that is the thing to say. Change venue and toughen up.

        I doubt it will help, but just on the off chance that it does, you should read these: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2011/10/adventures-in-depression.html http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2011/10/adventures-in-... http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2013/05/depression-part-two.html http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2013/05/depression-par...

        i don't think you know what the word "data" means. of course, that's beside the point.
