FB Woes

[CLTPanther]

You all are a bunch of FB whores it sounds like

I would doubt he is suicidal...those types of people typically act before they speak.

been through depression myself and sometimes it might seem like attention whoring but he could be crying out for someone just to help him get over a bump in the road.

Every time he posts something like that, post "Really? Cause things couldn't be better for me."

Since you bumped this...

So not only did I message his sister I also messaged him and told him that I'd be willing to listen if he needed someone to talk to but I also told him that I'm not going to listen to someone who is full of pity and has the poor me's without that person being willing to do something about it.

I have not heard back from him or his sister. But his sister did have a few words to say to him on fb for the whole world to see about his status updates. All I can say is wow. She wasn't very nice and it sounds like he is just whoring for attention.

I dunno why people cant just deal with the realities of life and be happy with what they have.

So apparently right after I posted that ^ I heard that he attempted suicide by carbon monoxide. He's alive because he decided to post on fb that he was going to take himself out and people read it, called 911 & sent them to his house, or truck actually. He was unconscious when they got there. I learned he's been living in his truck & has had a ton of issues to deal with for the last several years.

Reason #78 you don't go to the huddle for advice.

It's crazy. Everyone I've ever known to attempt suicide never told anyone they were going to do it. This guy. Posts it on fb for everyone to see.

[Jbro]

Thats always been the case I have seen as well. Two people I knew who did, no indication. The people I knew who said they would all the time would say they were going to always talked about it 24/7 but never did a thing.

He should have waited, the new American Idol will most likely push him over the edge.

Constant complainers, attention whores, ppl that give t.m.i., people that can't spell (or choose not to at least make it readable....all get hidden.

Generally if you are going to offer help offer it unconditionally. Otherwise it really isn't offered.

Nope, no one will be getting unconditional help from me. I've been burned to many times from doing that. I've learned to place boundaries on it.

Then best to let someone else handle it

I think I know what's best for me to do. But thanks anyway.
