      YES!! Finally, someone else gets it!
      Talk about "my body, my choice"... Everyone supports that idea UNTIL it becomes "inconvenient" for others.
      Suicide is only selfish when you're escaping/evading responsibility (i.e. paying for a crime).

      I'll stand up and vouch for this comment. I've heard multiple people close to me talking about people that you could almost say were very much like me, in very very distasteful ways. When your brother is clearly anxious and not very social, shitting on "incel fags who can't even talk to girls" when I'm 5 yards away isn't exactly what I'd call "situational awareness", and doesn't make me any more willing to talk about why I struggle to open up (which I get pressed by the same family member to "open up more" and doesn't get the irony in them saying that). I'd rather suffer on my own then have other people actively increasing it.

      I totally agree, but speaking as someone who has somehow managed to "successfully" buck the system and tell society and all its trends and conformity to go piss up a rope (meaning I never was much for joining the crowd beyond my own genuine desire/interest to pursue whatever is "popular" or "cool"), that does not necessarily make things much easier. It's definitely less worse, but not much better.

    • @BlackieNuff
      @BlackieNuff 3 ปีที่แล้ว +66

      It's a complicated thing, dude.
      I'm like you, having very little experience with women and intimate connections. I lamented about it all through my 20s and 30s, but began to "detach" and "disconnect" during my 40s and now I'm 50 and really have very few fucks to give about being/living/dying alone without any female companionship or other relationships. I practically prefer it at this point cos it's just "neater" and simpler.
      As for people who "have it all" and still off themselves? Like I said, that shit is complicated. Clearly something was missing for them. Or the "picture perfect" life we think they have was not so perfect. They could have been drowning in debt about to lose everything, there could be abuse going on behind closed doors, addictions, all kinds of fucked up shit. Sometimes there's nothing insidious or wrong, but yet they still feel a void somehow - that's when it gets complicated.
      Everyone is different and have different values that measure to different degrees so their is no one fixed answer to explain it, but once someone is so inclined to start digging into that person's life, eventually the motive is revealed, or at least points to the general direction.
      Anytime you feel like someone who "has it all" threw it all away and had no reason, consider that maybe they indeed had something you do not : whatever problem only those who "have it all" can have. That makes people like you and me kind of lucky in our own way.
      I used to feel like a total loser because I could never find any women who were interested in me sexually (and maybe I am a loser - but so what)... then one day I realized that never getting sex means my odds of catching an STI/STD was reduced to virtually ZERO (at least via sexual contact), as was any attempt by any gold-digging tramp to claim I sired anyone's children and be on the hook for child support! ;-)
      Despite the deficit in carnal relations, as long as I still have two working hands and a comfortable reach, I can "take matters into my own hands" and do what I gotta do to satisfy my natural urges. Never let any macho swine or anyone else shame you for resorting to that. If you can afford it and feel an escort or prostitute will save you some dignity, then do that. No shame, no judgment. No shame in "self-servicing", either. If we were not meant to be able do that, our arms would be a hell of a lot shorter.
      And the plus of that is, I never have to worry about the pressures of performance, stamina, or frequency. Whether I take 30 seconds or 30 minutes to bust a nut, is completely at MY leisure. I may even decide not to finish (cos I get sleepy and just wanna zonk out). I am also not chained down to the "same old thing" time after time ; my variety is only limited to my own imagination in conjunction with my "spank bank" and/or ability to navigate the interwebs.
      My point is, just as there can be many unseen positives to our perceived negatives, there can also be a lot of unseen negatives to all the perceived positives of those we observe and think we wish we had their situation.
      Anyway, I dunno if you're still around to see this comment, given it was 2 years ago that you posted, but hopefully you are, and you're finding ways to cope and make the best of things.
      Cheers.

    I'm from the construction line of work, in the last 15 months i have lost 10 of my work friends out of a group of 30 men to suicide. My opinion, stress with the fact men don't open up about suicide hold our emtions inside is a cocktail to suicide. Last month i came into work finding a work friend hanging from a scaffolding by his neck, he took his life. No one talked about it we just carried on working they just removed his body from the scaffolding like a lump of meat and said ok boys carry on working. Men have become disposable.

      In the U.S., there are some cases where the kids live with their fathers and visit their moms. Most kids WANT to live with their dads in America because dads are easier to get along with. If the kids have a preference, perhaps they can speak out and let the judge know. I have met 4 men (I'm a woman) in the past year who all had custody of their kids. They paid no alimony as the kids lived with them full time. Just visited mom or rarely saw her because she left them. Brilliant ! And the kids were happier.

Same with their bullshit pharma drugs but yeah it's a multi billion dollar industry which want to make profit not solving problems and helping peoples. If they solve their problems (or really help them doing it) they lose a customer, so it's better for them if you keep talking and taking their drugs. Then they tell you the most important thing is to work again but of course so they can "monetize" you twice. One time as a pharma customer and one time as a tax slave.

    I'm in my late 30s, my relationship of 8 years ended in late August. It wasn't perfect, but she was my best friend and the love of my life. She said our differences were too great. My sister has a drug problem, my parents and I get along, but we aren't close. I have a good job, I own a home, I tick the surface level boxes, but the loneliness is crippling. Before my 8 year I have been deceived by many women in my life. I'm back out in the dating scene now, some hits, mostly misses, but whenever I miss it always goes back to the girl I loved for 8 years. I eat well, I'm very active and athletic still, but I cry in my car coming home from the gym at least once a week when I listen to music. I'm tired of the pain. I'm tired of the same routine without her. I'm tired of the loneliness. I just want my old life back. I've come to terms this won't happen, I need to move on with my life, but I just can't bring myself to keep doing it. People can call me a "bitch" or a "pussy" but I'm tired of trying to prove people wrong. They can call me those names and that's perfectly fine. I just want the pain to end.

      Lots. A mans responsible to support his family. Life insurance penalizes the thought that a man may have a choice. Whether to continue supporting people who know this. And use it to their benefit. The number one reason I haven't done it, is that I worry that I will be found to be a coward. Or the insurance company will argue the true cause. I believe that a majority of fatalities in single person crashes are men. And suicide being the goal. We have all thought about it, whether we admit it or not. Twisted ideas about who we should be. Versus who adult men were trained to be. Is a large part of why. The woman we love want us to be secretly strong. And cower in public. How to see it for what it really is? Leave a relationship that has mixed feelings about men. Even if you have children. The message needs to be.... live.. not just for others .

    For a man to admit that he is depressed, hopeless and suicidal, is to admit that he is a failure at life. This is too humiliating and shameful for most men to admit, and so they dont seek help. Depressed men regret the past, they feel uncomfortable and unhappy in the present moment, and they fear that the future will be progressively worse.

    My dad took his own life 4 months ago and I have been truly struggling while dealing with it. I love my dad and he always loved me but we always had a strained relationship for different reasons many of which I put on me. For this reason when we lost him the guilt and responsibility I felt was overwhelming and still is. Listening to you talk about your experience gives me hope for me and has taught me things I did not know.
    This really helped me. Well done. Thank you.

    I considered suicide when my finances got bad and I realized that my sexual life was over. A life of quietly spending all my time alone because I couldn't afford to do anything and my sex appeal had gone was more than I could take. I had to learn to accept the loss of these things before the suicidal thoughts faded away.

    I've lost 4 close friends to suicide in the past 5 years, now after the first one we all talked about how we could stop it from happening again and we said we should be talking about it more, yet it happened another 3 times. Men talking about their feelings will not solve this issue, there are other things at play. Did men talk more about their feelings 50 years ago when they killed themselves in much smaller numbers? Did they fuck. The problem, I believe, is rooted in the culture of "I don't need no man!", the constant demonisation of men and hostility towards masculinity (from pre-school age), feminist bullshit that essentially makes men feel useless, unwanted, unloved and alone.

      @AceGoodheart 6 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      andybytheway I think you're correct. Our culture is changing and it's having a detrimental affect on men. Women don't need men anymore. They can support themselves especially with the help of child support. They don't need a man. If they need physical love women can get that easily with no strings attached.
      Life has no purpose for a man if he's not needed. What's the point in living if all you do is go to work and come home to an empty house. Loneliness and solitude will eventually break a man.
      Even the Bible says "it's not good that man should be alone." And, "he who finds a wife finds a good thing."

      We both need each other. At my workplace I notice some women are really good at picking up how others feel, if they are sleeping properly etc. I think we also need the nuclear family and equal balance of roles, I don't think a housewife is actually bad since a child needs attention and quality is better than quantity. We can't do everything on our own. There are women who can do stereotypically male stuff and vice versa. I think the problem with modern society is that it is too self oriented and doesn't focus on the big picture of how things work.

I just dont understand how can any guy commit suicide if they have everything. Like good job, wife, family with kids and something to look forward to in life. You would think that all that would fill the emptiness that one feels. Maybe its something that they need to look over before they do anything. Those people that have all that have a better chance in living life than the others like me I would say. It's just my opinion.

Ofcourse also depends on which country people live because some countries just dont give women so much rights as in west, in this case men are expeted to work as a horse what also can increase suicide rate of men. Also maybe by nature men are way too brave than women to get rid of their own life. So i still wonder why men are suicidal more than women..

I cared way too much for other people, their suffering and personal problems that I broke. I never had a Girlfriend or pet, but I know how shitty you felt. It's honestly moments like these that I wish God existed, a supernatural force that could theoretically relieve us of our pains. I now don't care to much about others problems because the answer is simple: death. It's nothing to be scared or ashamed of. I stopped caring about what others think or expect, because I am now in control.

      Its not purpose. Purpose is made. Men make things. Its not because of pain, men have a higher pain tolerance than people think. Its because we are hated. We are hated for what we are. We are loved for what we do, but hated for what we are. And we are better than women. And because of that simple fact, women hate us. Women make up majority voters. Men's rights is a non issue for women until no men are left.
      Suicide is a man's way of showing his discontent for society that hates him.

    Great video- I have heard alcoholics say depression is anger you haven't dealt with- that it needs to be lived out in a non-destructive way- so often we live out the 'pain of the past' by drinking too much, sex, drugs, junk food etc- but I think there's a lot you can do to help yourself- going to a safe place to scream and shout, to break a jam jar, take a hatchet and chop wood even if the mind at that moment in time doesn't know what to do the body is living out that unresolved anger- talking to someone as well, when we say things out loud they take on a greater power. Being attentive, counting your footsteps, getting out into nature- they sound small, but its the small things that help to get people well.

I mention the blues because it has helped me deal with my own suicidal tendencies throughout my life: John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Kieth Richards, Elton John, Jimmy Paige, Robert Plant, Fleetwood Mac, Freddy Mercury, Coldplay, Oasis, and the list goes on and on forever. These people are my music heroes and icons, who showed me the true beauty of what life can be like, who showed me that it doesn't matter whether you black or white but that we all have THE BLUES in our lives that the SOUL needs to express.
