Be friend to have a friend.

Increase the size your worldview.

I'm not sure my input on here is welcomed. Actually, thats an understatement based on the female responses.

Different strokes for different folks. I've not had any issue with your posts.

I had a huge argument with my sibling. I'm in a bit of a financial crisis and needed help with my rent. She is of the "conservative" type , as in: "Why can't you do things on your own?" Well, I've been doing things "on my own" for over 20 years without any help. It's just my siblings and me; our parents are both gone.

I keep saying that I never want to be anyone's burden. One day I'm gonna just get on the highway and drive head-on into a semi! I don't want to be anyone's problem!

I'm sorry. Everyone is responsible for their own lives and their own happiness.

I have people around me (addicts) who threaten suicide CONSTANTLY. I have sent a couple to rehab. I have done everything I can do. It is up to them to decide whether to live or die.

I am not going to be guilted into "you should have done more."

NO! YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE TO DEAL WITH YOUR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES (OR WHATEVER IT IS THAT IS DRIVING YOU TO THIS POINT).

Every human has pain and trauma. Some cannot handle it and seek to escape "the easy way."

I believe in karma and don't believe they will get the relief they are seeking.

Bunch of cowards these days (not talking about the kids - the kids are in bad shape because U.S. society SUCKS - and no one really cares that life is difficult for many kids). But bottom line: It is still their lives and their karma.

That is so ridiculous. You would hurt another innocent human being? Despicable. This is why so many people call people who commit suicide cowards.

That is the most passive-aggressive thing a person could ever do.

You need help.

Ok so what if I just stuck my head in an oven or parked in a enclosed garage with the engine running? The semi driver will be left alone.
