No, I think he was suggesting that making friends with a suicidal person would give you a better insight as to how they think and feel, and how to help them. It's good advice, by all means. You can't fully understand without knowing someone with suicidal tendancies.

...but...
paradoxical:
... not just because they're suicidal.


It's like: first: you have the friend, then you discover he is a suicidal, and then you try to help him. No other way. Not because he is a suicidal you're gonna be his friend. either way, i think than you won't know a person is a suicidal 'til he or she tells you bout it. you'll be a friend to him or her by then, so you'll have a suicidal friend that needs your help...

Confused i don't think it's clear enought for ya, but wtf...

Yes, but not just because they're suicidal.

Really?

I'm confused now. His post didn't appear to indicate that. Perhaps I should have looked for a deeper meaning.
Life would be so much easier if we all could just communicate in a series of clicks and beeps...-_-

The way he said it, I think he left a few words out. Like "If" you make friends with a suicidal, "you'll find" they're some of the most unique people...

Because having seen all the posts he's made, do you really think he'd condone being friends with a person for that reason alone? I'm pretty certain that he wouldn't. Within the context of the rest of that post (this is the problem with only quoting part of a post, it gets taken out of context), to assume that he did mean to be friends with a suicidal because they are suicidal woud be directly contradictory.

I'm not certain of anyone or anything on here...because I don't know anyone and I don't know what anyone really means because I can't tell unless I speak to someone properly.

Perhaps he could come back one day and explain to us both what he really meant, but i'd assume you're right. This highlights the problems I have communicating with people online...I'm just not intuitive enough.

Then you're a terrible person and you'll never be able to forget that. Because if you're the cause of the pain, you aren't reallly a friend.

paradoxical:

1. You shouldn't be friends with someone just because they're suicidal, that's not what he meant. Friendship and suicide are seperate entity, what he means (as I interpreted it) is that a friend who is suicidal should be treated no differently than a friend who isn't, instead of acting like they're so fragile that the friendship is bull instead of the real friendship they need. A real friend can be enough to make the mess of their life seem less messy.

No, I think he was suggesting that making friends with a suicidal person would give you a better insight as to how they think and feel, and how to help them. It's good advice, by all means. You can't fully understand without knowing someone with suicidal tendancies.
spill_no_sick:
seriously, make a friend with a suicidal

he meant that suicidals don't usually have many friends, and if they do their friends are very detatched an care less

I'll put it this way, everybody has a best friend, most people are considered to be a best friend by some one; most suicidals aren't even considered to be in the top ten of people's best friends

I went to a school where (literally) if you didn't hate me then you didn't care about me
even the teachers showed apathy or hate
I probably wouldn't have attempted suicide then if I had at least one friend (that didn't stab me in the back)

I take that back: I had A friend; she helped a lot, but still

I just mean that suicidals are usually clueless as how to be normal, so they're interesting
they will also care a lot about you (no matter how much text books say that you can't respect others without self-respect, lonely people will love anyone who talks to them

seriously, all I mean is talk to a person that always sits alone; talk to some one who is constantly picked on
please
it may be me
it may save some one's life

I did talk to you. More interesting, though, you talked to me, after you heard out my argument (even though you disagree) instead of deleting all my posts. And I made a friend out of the deal, a really good one.
And I'm really glad. Because no matter how much we generally have in common, you never fail to surprise me. [/cheesy moment]

Confused
Causing pain is inevitable, yes, but a friend is rarely the main source of pain--it's hardly friendship when that is the case. That is to say, when the bad outweighs the good, it stops being friendship, friendship is supposed to be a positive thing and if it's not, what remains can hardly be defined as such.

What you say isn't stupid. It just takes long to read and .. I guess there's some people on here who are too lazy to read it. Plus, I don't usually quote your speeches because you make good points and I mostly agree.
