I doubt he was driven to his decision within that one hour margin after his last status. He had probably settled for suicide before, tried to clear his record with the world (hence his apology to [whoever]) and probably just wanted to see a few people that care before he left.

The status before that was "I've never been so excited for a monday in a long time!"
At 12:30 yesterday morning.

Not that I've witnessed particularly many, and certainly none as close as your friend, but people don't seem to just kill themselves spontaneously. They say things or behave in a way that you understand differently once they're gone. To me, it sounds like your friend knew exactly what he was going to do on that monday.

We can't but speculate either way. If he wanted people to know, they'd know.

You're saying it was planned ahead? Makes sense.
The reason I'm so confused is that he wasn't the sort of person to plan anything ahead. I knew the kid for four years.

I don't think anyone is naturally spontaneous enough to approach even suicide without reflection or hesitation. Unless something absolutely terrifying and mind-shattering occurred to him that day, I can't see it happen just like that.

Or if he was under the influence. My friends brother hung himself that way, a year ago this month actually. I don't know enough, so I won't go off assuming I know. But most ones are planned out, for quite some time. I would just guess by the content of his last posts that it was. The hour before would be a regret period, or a last means of talking himself out of it. But, just speculation.

To me, someone hitting psychedelics or drinking excessively to numb pain or block out remorse appears as a more likely scenario than suicide actually triggered by influence.

I dunno, it's just weird. Too little is known about it unless something written was left behind. But there is only so much you can speculate about until you run out of ideas and just accept the best one from what you know.

But I'm going to bed now. Sorry again Joe, take it easy.

I'm sorry Joe. I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said, so I'll just... I don't know. I'm sorry.

This doesn't feel right.
It was the same when my sister's best friend was hit by a truck and killed.

I don't feel a thing.
I should at least be a bit down, but I'm not. I can't explain why, and it's bothering the ******** out of me.

It could be a lot of things. It could be something mental, like your childhood or something, or that you have a mental disorder. Or something completely different. It might just be how you handle stress and grieving. Or you are done grieving VERY quickly.

Maybe you should get some help or talk to someone about it.
PostPosted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 7:00 am


I feel like I went through the grieving process in ten minutes.
Maybe I should talk to someone about that.

I've noticed this quite a bit. I have a strange inability to feel sympathy for anything. I can fake it, but that's it. And every single time I end up feeling sorry for myself in these situations.
Could be the aspergers though. I've heard about this sort of thing associated with that.

Anyway, I have homework due in half an hour. I gotta get on that.

go go go

You can always do more research on aspergers. See if that could be what's causing it.
PostPosted: Wed Dec 01, 2010 7:11 am


It's the first thing I ever heard associated with it back in early high school, or at least something similar.
I'll have to look it up some more. I just keep finding more and more things.

Also TRU is having a half off sale on everything which means if they have cliffjumper he's only five ******** s**t THAT IS COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC.

Never use Autism spectrum to cover for poor social skills.

All you need to succeed in the social world is mindbending amounts of confidence.

And the best way to be confident is to not give a ********... and that in and of itself is a total lack of empathy.

Look at you Joe, you have the makings of a class A social butterfly!



Also, people who never shut up about their Aspergers give a lot of bad rep, and really make it hard to explain the smile things, like why intense sensations can give me migraines, without people being like, "Oh, but you act so normal."

One of these days I'm gonna stab someone, and it will either be a person from the first or third clause of that run-on sentence.
