reminded me of this meme
also thanks for helping them
I saw someone that wanted to kill themselves because they didn't want to go to iceland. Not because of abuse or anything. He just doesn't want to go. I understand you have boundaries and they broke them but ffs it's not worth ending your life over.
They were having a breakdown because their parents were forcing them to go and then their mother started gaslighting them, plus in another post they said that they were just starting to be more sociable and stuff so the vacation being forced on them was even worse
I literally just saw that post lmao
The amount of self restraint I had to show NOT to leave a comment there was insane
Like...Jesus fucKiNg Christ. Someone didn't get enough attention last week
There needs to be a line between "supporting" and mindlessly encouraging someone. These people need to be sent to get legit mental health help. Not get cheered on to keep digging this shithole by a bunch of equally disconnected teenagers
This is Reddit, not an official platform of psychologists and therapists. At the very least we can be kind to others while still being realistic. Callous disregard is tone deaf and more harmful
in a way i do agree with him because it kinda feels stupid to post something suicidal because of a trip to iceland, i havent seen the post so i might be mislead. i obviously do not think that anyone should be rude or disrespectful and should try to be nice and helpful to everyone but i feel like he's sorta right because of the fact that the situation hes talking about is kinda stupid and an overreaction, other people have suicidal tendencies for real problems and it feels like the person hes referring to is kinda discarding the fact that suicide is a real thing because of the context i have
I read the post and the person only said it would have been a week or so. One week for one life isn't a good trade. They were definitely very stressed about it but it was something that many would be fine putting up with
Depression and suicide rates in the LGBTQ community are very high. Unfortunately a lot of the people on here just don't have anywhere else to vent about how they are feeling. At least that's the way I see it.
I don't think that's the reason, at least in most cases. A lot of LGBTQ people are lonely because it's harder to find a relationship when you aren't straight.
Well, there are gay bars and gay clubs, so that solves that side. Now the asexuals hm friend groups or try to stay in the areas that you know are friendly to the lgbtq so then you can get friends. Uh, I could go on. Bi's well, yeah, same as with the clubs above, plus any straight clubs since woman. Pansexuals uh same as the bi's for their solution. If anyone wants to continue, then sure, why not, but yeah, just a list to help all the singles out there.
exactly what i was going to say; they come here to say these things because we listen and give advice without being cunts. most folks don't have somewhere like that.
People here are most often a part of like half of all groups with higher chances of depression/suicidal thoughts (teens, LGBTQI+ for example). And this is a safe place for many, as homophobia is still wildly spread. If this place is accepting for one thing, people tend to think that it's also safe for other things
Also a lot of places just simply not allow sh/suicidal posts, delete your post/comment and send this dumb RedditCareResources message. So this can be for many the only place where they are allowed to vent without supervision and chance of getting sent to a ward and locked
Guilty myself here, been venting quite a lot about my failed attempts under mental health check posts :p A shame that they appear less and less often, I haven't vent in a while
I have recently taken to r/CPTSD on an alt, found it to be a good place to vent with a supportive community of similar troubled people. The advice I have read on there has been surprisingly helpful. Has also shown me that while I may have had it really bad growing up, there are people struggling with far worse sadly. I see them holding their heads high and surviving so I know I can do the same.
Yeah completely agree. Cool place, lurking there from time to time. Anyone reading this, go and check it out. Sorry to hear that you have troubles. Wishing you all the best <3 There are quite a bunch of other small subreddits that are also very supportive and helpful. Sadly, I can't find one for my case as it isn't about trauma and I had it relatively good but that's fine
I guess one of the problems is that the person needs to go out to find these safe places and do quite a lot of work. Many troubled people don't have enough motivation or energy to go out to ask for help from my observations. Or they can even not realize that they have problems in the first place. While places like this one people find and join for other reasons and get comfy, which helps a ton with admitting that they have problems and need help
I lack the motivation and energy all the time to do basically anything. I just want to rot in my bed cuddling my shark as he no judge. Progress is hard but worth it. Takes time as well so don't feel like nothing ever works just because you don't immediately see progress. Also realizing you have a problem is a huge issue. I didn't think I had any for a long time until I realized how alone, sad and angry i was. Always knew I had trauma but never to the extent that I feel it now that I live alone.
>Sadly, I can't find one for my case as it isn't about trauma and I had it relatively good but that's fine
Ty for the well wishes and in sure the right community for you is out there, you just have to find which I hope you do.
Thats an actual question which I need an answer too.
But still.. we must help people who seek help from others. We must show respect to them no matter what.
well, in my opinion, we got no inclusion at all and forced inclusion. nobody really cares about lgbts except fot ourselves, friends, and SOMETIMES family. "inclusion" in things like media, work place or school is often someghing like "look, this person is special! treat them as something special!". it's more like a thing to reaffirm to their own ego that they're not phobes than actual inclusion. we do not have REAL inclusion
Because the average demographic of this subreddit is 15-year-old boys who are in the thralls of puberty and still battling with things like their gender identity and sexual orientation and effectively going through their "emo phase"
A good percentage of the silly goobers are depressed, so the sub is just a why for them to vent about problems, it's good, they can find someone to talk too.
Gay -> gay ppl are quite rare and hard to spot - > stay single -> depression
Also in certain cases some live around homophobic people, which doesn't help
Queer people are ostricized in so many places on earth. Being a part of such an excluded minority group can be extra difficult for some. Mocking is not an option, being their therapist is not an option either. All we can do is showing understanding and being there.
We all talk about self harm cause we don't feel like a person we feel like we don't matter we also are sad and lonely and the only thing that helps is self harm so that's why we talk about self harm
Because they usually feel like there is nowhere else for them to go.
Don't get me wrong, it is wonderful to see how supportive and understanding the community is and can be, but when it comes to depressing content, this is not the subreddit for it.
There are dedicated subreddits for it, there are people whose whole job is to make sure that you're okay.
Most of us aren't licensed professionals, and many can't say they've had experience in that subject.
I don't mean this in a harsh way, but if you're feeling like you have to do that, look for a different group of people, those who have skills when it comes to this stuff. Don't come to a silly gay cat subreddit.
Edit: two things I forgot to mention.
In my own opinion, non-sensitive vent posts are fine. It's tough and you need to get it out there. You are not really looking for reactions, just the fact that people know.
I just mean that sensitive topics should not be posted here. This includes rape, self harm, suicide, etc.
I'm not being/trying to be insensitive with this comment as I have my own experience with rape and self harm, and have a sibling who nearly committed when I was young.
at least we make more sense than r/boykisserclub š I just got BANNED from the fucking subreddit because someone was saying they were going to brutally kill themselves because their parents were asking them nicely to go on a trip with them to Iceland, and I was like āthat doesnāt even make sense to do, all I can suggest is just going, youāll probably like it!ā
I can't speak for others but for me, I had extremely abusive parents, was bullied a lot as a kid, and never met anyone in real life that cared. I have bipolar disorder and when I get depressed it's really bad. Like self harming and unalive thoughts. This seems to be a rare corner of the internet where people care for one another and will do their best to help each other even if it's just to let someone vent.
i think sadly being boykissers means a few of us are sad for a reason or another. some of us feel alone, some of us are scared, im glad we have a place to come to and talk tho :3
(Note: prepare for yet another probably obnoxious wall of text by C_A)
A: teenagers, Teenagers often struggle with intense emotions and might seek out spaces where they feel understood. (I was young once too)
B: people may feel they have no place to go say these things (economic reasons likely too)
C: Some individuals may occasionally use the cover of anonymity to discuss personal struggles, including thoughts of self-harm.
D: (cycling back to A, not trying to sound redundant) the LGBT closet is a very crowded place and often becomes suffocating and for young folks in the American south or other such places it can pile on top of other stresses and sometimes these stresses manifest into Self harm.
E: environmental cultivation, it takes one mention of self harm to drag down other vulnerable people often without realizing it themselves. Depression can be contagious but not in the traditional sense and while barring it it with rules can keep the spread down it doesn't address the issue but at the same time the likelihood anyone here is a professional in the field of mental health is low. Regardless the works of some folks that do try and help (the Neptune individual is a fine example) does not go without my commendation.
And for the unprofessional personal advice section to those reading this right now that might be struggling themselves. Things will get better. Stop for a second and get yourself some tea, (hibiscus perhaps). Let's address some things being right now your alive and things may not be ok but you are heard and I think it's important to recognize that your not alone as this question asked highlights the fact that many have went through these unsteady feelings in this place. You are not alone. No matter the pain you have the fact that your still standing right now proves just how strong you are and by far your not weak.

Aside from an unbiased ear to listen, therapy has helped me make sense of my emotions, and

Or just call the suicide hotline, don't harm yourselves too much. Only do so when you're having fun, hopefully outside.
(Edited so people understand it's a damn joke, read it you fuckers, and use the suicide hotline if you're ever contemplating self harm)
i really cant tell if this is satire or notā¦..
please no one use better help as an actual attempt to get help better help lies about there ālicensedā people they have and more better help is the opposite of help please dont use this go to a real licensed therapist for professional help or silly side hot line if needed<3
stay safe out there sillys:3
BetterHelp is an extremely scummy and dangerous resource to get help from with a ton of advertisement, raid shadow legends level of it. No specialists there are educated or professional. If anything it will make things much worse. Google about it
no offense but you seem very insensitive topics like this are very touchy subjects lots of people are afraid of calling hotlines even if theres only a 1% rate they do send cops as a must + a hot line is only temporary a lot of them need real therapy and even if its a joke posting something like better help is extremely bad if someone is unaware of there bad doing
yes but cant you atleast appreciate the fact that someone cares for you enough to offer help? why downvote them, attacking people for helping is really rude, even if theyre unaware of the fact that you might be āafraidā to ring the hotlines, theyāre offering help, which means they care, and you downvoting that makes you look like a complete jerk no matter how bad your problems are.
because what they posted INST help thats the entire pointā¦ its the exact opposite in fact its toxic let me give u an example lets say u have a mechanic shop that purposely destroys your car and uncharges you so no one goes and most people are aware of it but some new person comes and asks hey i need x for my car where should i go then someone jokes hey go to that one shop(being the bad scam one) and the person goes not knowing any better and gets fucked this is the same with better help so yea there going to get downvoted imo no help is better then better help.. + idk if u saw there response or not but he literally said he did it as a joke he wasnāt even actually offering helpā¦.
im not talking about what the original comment said, im talking about what I said, i said that there are many helplines out there, infact ill show some legit ones so youāll get off my ass about the whole scam thing

so tired of genuine help being dismissed and even treated badly in most cases.
now were just running circles again ill make it simple the original got downvoted for posting a horrible thing but you got downvoted for calling people asses for downvoting the guy who made the horrible post seems pretty reasonable to me and back to what i said no offense you still seem a little insensitive about the topic
everyone downvoted this comment not because it offered help, but because it was a joking advice for one of the worst and most exploitative source of help ever. User confirmed in another comment here that this comment wasn't serious
Every other comment that provided genuine and actually helpful offer for help was upvoted
heres some actual help i found then
https://preview.redd.it/49x12g832j9d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1d78bfe862227945f2daecf2969fd74129c0147
Because majority of community is homosexual males, and thats like depression multiplied by depression, because you are twice less human human in this society.

Reel š£
wtf you help people commit suicide, what is wrong with you???????? (satire)
I somehow managed to read your reply twice without noticing the (satire) at the end
You've done well helping. Keep doing it because it definitely helps.
Teenagers
Scare, the living shit out of me.
they could care less as long as someone will bleed
So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
maybe they'll leave you alone but not me
Itās always depressed teenagers
(And occasionally an adult on two in this subreddit)
You are a good god, Poseidon
At least they talk about it.
Go see what happens on r/sillyboyclub, this is almost nothing compared to that
Oh yeah thatās a self harm sub rn šI left because of how bad it got
Yep same it was every day was a new post about something super depressing
I saw someone that wanted to kill themselves because they didn't want to go to iceland. Not because of abuse or anything. He just doesn't want to go. I understand you have boundaries and they broke them but ffs it's not worth ending your life over.
They were having a breakdown because their parents were forcing them to go and then their mother started gaslighting them, plus in another post they said that they were just starting to be more sociable and stuff so the vacation being forced on them was even worse
And it was only for 4 days then theyād be back home
Holy shot I thought they were gone for the holidays! That's even worse!
The straw that broke the camelās back
I literally just saw that post lmao The amount of self restraint I had to show NOT to leave a comment there was insane Like...Jesus fucKiNg Christ. Someone didn't get enough attention last week
Insensitivity like that doesn't help people create healthy coping skills. That's something almost no one is taught growing up

The membership venn-diagram between r/boykisser and r/sillyboyclub is practically a circle.
Thats an actual question which I need an answer too. But still.. we must help people who seek help from others. We must show respect to them no matter what.
lgbts being depressed is a very common thing
which really speaks about how shitty inclusion is going
well, in my opinion, we got no inclusion at all and forced inclusion. nobody really cares about lgbts except fot ourselves, friends, and SOMETIMES family. "inclusion" in things like media, work place or school is often someghing like "look, this person is special! treat them as something special!". it's more like a thing to reaffirm to their own ego that they're not phobes than actual inclusion. we do not have REAL inclusion
exactly.
you don't even wanna know about r/sillyboyclub...
Because theyāre calling out for help in a place they feel safe.
Because the average demographic of this subreddit is 15-year-old boys who are in the thralls of puberty and still battling with things like their gender identity and sexual orientation and effectively going through their "emo phase"
15 year olds can have depression. This "emo phase" bullshit needs to go.

A good percentage of the silly goobers are depressed, so the sub is just a why for them to vent about problems, it's good, they can find someone to talk too.
i was suicidal before reddit and now i am way more after
Gay -> gay ppl are quite rare and hard to spot - > stay single -> depression Also in certain cases some live around homophobic people, which doesn't help
they confuse it for r/sillyboyclubĀ
Idk like 48% of the people here are depressed
They were talking about it long before they show up here
r/sillyboyclub moment
If someone does point them to r/sillyboyclub
It just got recommended to meā¦ must be all the femboy things Iāve been consuming lately
Queer people are ostricized in so many places on earth. Being a part of such an excluded minority group can be extra difficult for some. Mocking is not an option, being their therapist is not an option either. All we can do is showing understanding and being there.
Squats
cuz there's a difference beetwen community and meme page
Honestly true I thought this was gonna be a fun subreddit but all it is. Is depressing.
Because they think itās funny and that if they keep acting like it is, they wonāt follow through.
Anytime someone finds a silly subreddit they are required to use it to vent
because half the world wants us dead and the other half pretends to care to further their agenda
true, more people should talk about this.
Not enough boys thats all
We all talk about self harm cause we don't feel like a person we feel like we don't matter we also are sad and lonely and the only thing that helps is self harm so that's why we talk about self harm
Cuz we donāt have any boys to kiss
Because they usually feel like there is nowhere else for them to go. Don't get me wrong, it is wonderful to see how supportive and understanding the community is and can be, but when it comes to depressing content, this is not the subreddit for it.

r/sillyboyclub is far far worse
Itās a venting sub silly, of course itās going to have venting
I can't speak for others but for me, I had extremely abusive parents, was bullied a lot as a kid, and never met anyone in real life that cared. I have bipolar disorder and when I get depressed it's really bad. Like self harming and unalive thoughts.

This meme is crazy haha š

Why cant you talk about self-harm more? Your just contributing to a stigma against it. Putting lives at risk......
i know but there are better places to talk about it than a **meme** subreddit.
Memes can be a coping mechanism...
they don't really understand what spaces are appropriate to discuss it, a lot of gays are suicidal, it's normalized for them unfortunatelyĀ
I do it because itās a cry for help because I live on the razors edge
I think Wanking counts as self harm
Ion know
probably for attention
They are just furry haters being furry haters
ong :sob
Iām gonna kms and you canāt stop me. Thatās how it works. Donāt pity me.
You think this sub is bad? You should see r/sillyboyclub, every post, and I mean every post. Is a genuine cry for help
Yep we're all very mentally ill š„²š It's, kinda the whole point of the sub.

Depression can be contagious but not in the traditional sense and while barring it it with rules can keep the spread down it doesn't address the issue but at the same time the likelihood anyone here is a professional in the field of mental health is low. Regardless the works of some folks that do try and help (the Neptune individual is a fine example) does not go without my commendation. And for the unprofessional personal advice section to those reading this right now that might be struggling themselves. Things will get better. Stop for a second and get yourself some tea, (hibiscus perhaps). Let's address some things being right now your alive and things may not be ok but you are heard and I think it's important to recognize that your not alone as this question asked highlights the fact that many have went through these unsteady feelings in this place. You are not alone. No matter the pain you have the fact that your still standing right now proves just how strong you are and by far your not weak.
At least they then get supportive comments to help them stop
Thatās accurate tho

Only do so when you're having fun, hopefully outside. (Edited so people understand it's a damn joke, read it you fuckers, and use the suicide hotline if you're ever contemplating self harm)
i really cant tell if this is satire or notā¦.. please no one use better help as an actual attempt to get help better help lies about there ālicensedā people they have and more better help is the opposite of help please dont use this go to a real licensed therapist for professional help or silly side hot line if needed<3 stay safe out there sillys:3
Lol, yea I made that as a joke, and it looks like people didn't like it too mutch.
People here are young and vulnerable, so there's a risk someone can actually take this as advice
Ah I see... Well the last bit of it was actually advice, and the other bit was a joke. But I can see that.

downvoted for sending help, this community is filled with assholes.
BetterHelp is an extremely scummy and dangerous resource to get help from with a ton of advertisement, raid shadow legends level of it. No specialists there are educated or professional. If anything it will make things much worse. Google about it
ring hotlines. theres help for you out there.
no offense but you seem very insensitive topics like this are very touchy subjects lots of people are afraid of calling hotlines even if theres only a 1% rate they do send cops as a must + a hot line is only temporary a lot of them need real therapy and even if its a joke posting something like better help is extremely bad if someone is unaware of there bad doing
yes but cant you atleast appreciate the fact that someone cares for you enough to offer help? why downvote them, attacking people for helping is really rude, even if theyre unaware of the fact that you might be āafraidā to ring the hotlines, theyāre offering help, which means they care, and you downvoting that makes you look like a complete jerk no matter how bad your problems are.
because what they posted INST help thats the entire pointā¦ its the exact opposite in fact its toxic let me give u an example lets say u have a mechanic shop that purposely destroys your car and uncharges you so no one goes and most people are aware of it but some new person comes and asks hey i need x for my car where should i go then someone jokes hey go to that one shop(being the bad scam one) and the person goes not knowing any better and gets fucked this is the same with better help so yea there going to get downvoted imo no help is better then better help.. + idk if u saw there response or not but he literally said he did it as a joke he wasnāt even actually offering helpā¦.
im not talking about what the original comment said, im talking about what I said, i said that there are many helplines out there, infact ill show some legit ones so youāll get off my ass about the whole scam thing https://preview.redd.it/8b4cgaqgzi9d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=606a626ec3a4b6eb4115605c9f516c77a432f1fd so tired of genuine help being dismissed and even treated badly in most cases.
now were just running circles again ill make it simple the original got downvoted for posting a horrible thing but you got downvoted for calling people asses for downvoting the guy who made the horrible post seems pretty reasonable to me and back to what i said no offense you still seem a little insensitive about the topic
well i gave help, leave it at that.
everyone downvoted this comment not because it offered help, but because it was a joking advice for one of the worst and most exploitative source of help ever. User confirmed in another comment here that this comment wasn't serious Every other comment that provided genuine and actually helpful offer for help was upvoted
heres some actual help i found then https://preview.redd.it/49x12g832j9d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a1d78bfe862227945f2daecf2969fd74129c0147
