"People would miss you" (vent)

[Eternal Eyes]

The older I get the more I feel this line is just a useless cop out akin to the infamous "it gets better" and "try talking to a family member" (LOL). I mentioned on here before that I had one family member take his life, and simply put, the people around him moved on with rapid speed. It's probably been well over 2 years with no mention of his name now.

I honestly think I am so socially detached now no one would care. I get the vibe that even in the few irl settings i am in, I am the loner, the odd one out, the black sheep.

Does anyone else here feel that no one would miss them? The only two people I can count are my parents, and even they have admitted I was a mistake. I think they'd divorce and would probably both end up living happier lives after a few months.

I know there are people who care about me and they would miss me greatly. That being said, i resent them for reminding me of this and giving me those platitudes all the time. They are a self trope to trap those of us with a shred of humanity here and keeping us from releasing ourselves from our pain.

i guess i might be missed but i feel like everyone's overreacting when it comes to what will happen to them and their lives when i'm no longer around.

sure, they'll shred a tear and might find it difficult in the beginning but at some point even their lives will have to continue.

i mean like, the world doesn't stop???

basically the same thing as what you mentioned in your post. whether it is done with rapid speed, or not: people will move on, or well, they'll have to.

i'm sorry to read that your parents have gotten that 'ur a mistake' kind of idea. that's a messed up thing to say. makes me wonder how they'll feel about that once you're no longer around.

No i don't have anybody that would miss me. Even if i did i wouldn't be able to care if i was dead anyway.
Why would someone who has people that'd miss them want to kill themselves anyway?

being missed when gone isn't exactly a reason worth living for

for sure. and even if they did, they'd only be missing the facade i made. that's cause nobody knows who i actually am. if they did, they would certainly not like me.

I have a few people who care about me. However, my mental suffering is nearly unbearable. I'm close to losing my independence because of my mental health. I have no hope for a decent future. I have no passions or desires. Other people might experience chronic pain that is preventing them from a normal life. Whatever the reason, there are some situations that are not worth living for, even knowing you would be missed.

 

[sancta-simplicitas]

Emotionally I don't expect anyone to miss me, I'm of relatively little importance to most people in my life. Intellectually I know that there are a few people who'd miss me, but as a whole I do think that my overall suffering is greater than their suffering would be if they lost me.

I would be deeply missed by my parents. Not so much by my sister or at least, I think she will recover quickly. One friend would miss me also.

As parents are old, it would be like killing them also, and that is holding me right now.

 

[kinderbueno]

A few people would miss me but then move on and forget about you. Nobody truly cares for me

 

[Anonslostsoul]

Some people might miss me, but they'd move on relatively quick.

 

[GuessWhosBack]

People wouldn't miss me in any meaningful way.

My one friend would miss me but he'd move on quick, he's not very emotional and has many friends. I've been isolating hard lately so we'll likely drift apart and then he won't even know about it and then no one would miss me! :D
...Well, others may miss me but they know / like me even less so they won't miss me that much or for that long lol
