Story My initiation on the general chat room

[Blue Rose]

In those days, I was a fresh newbie. I was desperate and had little information on everything of SS.

Some users in the general chit-chat room asked me the reason why I would like to die.
Of course, I answered them honestly and an unexpected response occurred.

They started to focus on reputing everything I had said, then I grudged too.
Even those who had prepared their CTB had already focused on reputing my all arguments,
finally I started to cry with severe confusion and sadness.

They told me that I had not any reasonable reasons for my CTB.
They asked me whether I had tried to do anything I could have done, before my CTB indeed.
They told me that they had not intention to stop me, but I should be more careful on my CTB.

And they told me that once I died, there would NOT be the second chance anymore.

I cried for an hour. Some users who had refuted my arguments once consoled me also.
I remember that, after this initiation, I wrote a thread with my confusion and sadness.

I hated them for a while, but now I can understand them.
I am sure I was reckless and immature in those days, so I think they taught me with their radical methods or means.
I am sure they knew the weight of my choice and my life than I had known about them.

But if I meet the user like myself in those days, How should I do?

Express your views and feelings to them if you want to. But always let them decide what is best for themselves. Understand and respect that they are their own person and in the end, it is only their choice and no one else's. No matter what.

It sounds like they wanted to make sure that you knew what you were doing and I think that's reasonable. The decision to commit suicide is obviously not to be taken lightly. You should be in your right mind and have explored other options first. In the end, only you know your whole situation and what's best for you, though.

Don't tell them that their reason(s) aren't good enough (unless they're 14 and their gf broke up with them and that's their biggest problem in life, so it's really situation dependent) and if you do tell them, don't straight up say you're being stupid. Try to be a bit nicer. (which by reading this I'm sure you'd mean well in anything you say) make sure they know there's options for help if they would like it. (even a lot that people don't think/know about.) aside from that and making sure that this is for them, there's not much to do.

They told me that I had not any reasonable reasons for my CTB

I also hope you reported them unless someone is obviously being impulsive and it really isn't what's best for them, that should never be said.
