> ???Could you explain to me what you mean by this? That others don't want to stop thinking about suicide? That some people threaten suicide and want to continue to keep doing so? This is news to me if that is what you are saying. I thought that being suicidal was a state of anguish that all or most of us wanted to be out of. Maybe I am wrong.
I'm making the same point that scam made before (or at least I'm reiterating the point as I understand it).
Deneb posts about her thoughts on death and her desire to be dead at times.
We are all going to die one day.
You seem to think that it would be better for her to stop posting about these things.
Better for her, or in line with how other people here prefer her to behave?
I think it may well be worthwhile to post about things like that.
I mean... We are all going to die one day.
Who is to say that one way of behaving is healthier than another?
Who is to say that one way of thinking is healthier than another?
What seemed to upset Deneb the most...
Was posters responding to her feelings / thoughts / perceptions
By invalidating them.
By instructing her to do things THEY wanted / valued.
And the ultimate goal... seems to be to have silenced her.Thats what I mean about values.
I value honest expression
Over modifying behaviour that makes other people feel uncomfortable.In your world view...
According to your values...Am I very bad for that?
